Hi,

Please check the type of the reported Xsession and other files:

  ls -laZ /etc/X11/xinit/

Comment 3 Mamoru TASAKA 2020-10-15 12:39:40 UTC
For sure, I tried using the above LXDE Live spin image

Perhaps you need this

[root@localhost-live ~]# ls -alZ /etc/lxdm

Comment 5 Zdenek Pytela 2020-10-15 15:22:39 UTC
Thank you for the commands output and for the link, that should be enough for troubleshooting.

As I am not aware of any possibly related change in selinux-policy, I wonder what could have changed in lxdm or elsewhere in rawhide.

What is your kernel version?
