Description of problem: When starting Mono applications (f-spot and Banshee) the following error message is printed to the console. FC5 with all updates current. ---- Warning: [4/3/2006 12:01:25 PM] (Could not connect to D-Bus) - D-Bus support will be disabled for this instance: An SELinux policy prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.DBus" member "Hello" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.DBus") ---- This causes some of the functionality of these applications to be disabled. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dbus-sharp: 0.61-3 policy-targeted: 2.2.25-2.fc5
What avc messages are you seeing?
tail -f messages | egrep -i avc yields no avc messages related to either f-spot or Banshee yet the above error message is still printed.
setenforce 0, then start it. Then check for AVCs in /var/log/audit/audit.log and/or /var/log/messages
Running f-spot with setenforce=0 yields no AVCs in messages but the error message pasted into the original bug report goes away (I do not have /var/log/audit). However, running Banshee with setenforce=0 results in lots of AVCs.
