Description of problem: SELinux is preventing upowerd from 'write' accesses on the directory /var/lib/upower. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that upowerd should be allowed write access on the upower directory by default. Then you should report this as a bug. You can generate a local policy module to allow this access. Do allow this access for now by executing: # ausearch -c 'upowerd' --raw | audit2allow -M my-upowerd # semodule -X 300 -i my-upowerd.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:devicekit_var_lib_t:s0 Target Objects /var/lib/upower [ dir ] Source upowerd Source Path upowerd Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages upower-0.99.8-1.fc29.x86_64 Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.14.2-25.fc29.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 4.18.0-0.rc0.git9.1.fc29.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jun 14 18:07:49 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2018-06-21 20:45:57 +05 Last Seen 2018-06-21 20:45:57 +05 Local ID c73367b8-2016-4a9f-9292-ae12de4a80f9 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1529595957.728:273): avc: denied { write } for pid=1193 comm="upowerd" name="upower" dev="sda1" ino=6160594 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:devicekit_var_lib_t:s0 tclass=dir permissive=0 Hash: upowerd,init_t,devicekit_var_lib_t,dir,write Version-Release number of selected component: selinux-policy-3.14.2-25.fc29.noarch Additional info: component: selinux-policy reporter: libreport-2.9.5 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 4.18.0-0.rc0.git9.1.fc29.x86_64 type: libreport Potential duplicate: bug 1593496
