Description of problem: I did normal install to Fedora Workstation. After minimal setup I encoutered problem with dbus not running programs because of Permission denied. The problem was bad permissions of dbus-daemon-launch-helper. Because of problems with rpm --restore I needed to to also setcap -r .... to fix this. [root@localhost ~]# ls -lZa /usr/libexec/dbus-1/dbus-daemon-launch-helper -rwsr-x---. 1 root root system_u:object_r:dbusd_exec_t:s0 74320 3. 8. 09:10 /usr/libexec/dbus-1/dbus-daemon-launch-helper [root@localhost ~]# rpm -V dbus-daemon .M....... g /run/dbus ......G.. /usr/libexec/dbus-1/dbus-daemon-launch-helper [root@localhost ~]# rpm --restore dbus-daemon [root@localhost ~]# rpm -V dbus-daemon [root@localhost ~]# ls -lZa /usr/libexec/dbus-1/dbus-daemon-launch-helper -rwsr-x---. 1 root dbus system_u:object_r:dbusd_exec_t:s0 74320 3. 8. 09:10 /usr/libexec/dbus-1/dbus-daemon-launch-helper [root@localhost ~]# setcap -r /usr/libexec/dbus-1/dbus-daemon-launch-helper I have no idea where this wrong permissions are initially found but should not be something done during initial setup. Mainly: cd /etc/audit/rules.d/ cat > local.rules -w /etc/shadow -p w systemctl enable --now sshd fixfiles onboot vi /etc/sudoers dnf install -y setroubleshoot{,-server} setools-console strace And then rebooted to fix files. There were this problem without that: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1644313 I'm mainly reporting this to give hints how to fix it. Problem was I could not start setroubleshoot app or abrt app. [root@localhost ~]# abrt-cli ls Can't connect to system DBus: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.problems:

I made installation currently using: Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_64-29-1.2.iso dbus-daemon-1.12.12-1.fc29.x86_64 setroubleshoot-3.3.20-1.fc29.x86_64 kernel-5.2.7-100.fc29.x86_64 python3-3.7.4-1.fc29.x86_64 And was not able to repeat issues.
