Description of problem: SELinux is preventing gnome-session-b from 'watch' accesses on the directory /run/systemd/sessions. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that gnome-session-b should be allowed watch access on the sessions 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 'gnome-session-b' --raw | audit2allow -M my-gnomesessionb # semodule -X 300 -i my-gnomesessionb.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context system_u:object_r:systemd_logind_sessions_t:s0 Target Objects /run/systemd/sessions [ dir ] Source gnome-session-b Source Path gnome-session-b Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages SELinux Policy RPM selinux-policy-targeted-3.14.8-1.fc35.noarch Local Policy RPM selinux-policy-targeted-3.14.8-1.fc35.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Permissive Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 5.11.0-0.rc7.20210212git291009f656 e8.151.fc35.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Feb 12 13:02:28 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 7 First Seen 2021-02-15 01:01:36 +05 Last Seen 2021-02-15 01:04:22 +05 Local ID f966fd7b-b1ad-4e6c-9f4a-0142d2d7f04c Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1613333062.691:561): avc: denied { watch } for pid=1580 comm="gnome-shell" path="/run/systemd/sessions" dev="tmpfs" ino=78 scontext=system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:systemd_logind_sessions_t:s0 tclass=dir permissive=1 Hash: gnome-session-b,xdm_t,systemd_logind_sessions_t,dir,watch Version-Release number of selected component: selinux-policy-targeted-3.14.8-1.fc35.noarch Additional info: component: selinux-policy reporter: libreport-2.14.0 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 5.11.0-0.rc7.20210212git291009f656e8.151.fc35.x86_64 type: libreport
