RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
With selinux-policy-34.1.25-1.el9, everything works fine, login works and the desktop shows up.

As soon as selinux-policy is upgraded beyond that version, login screen shows up, but after entering the password, only a black screen shows up forever. No KDE loading animation, just a black screen.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
34.1.25-1.el9 works
34.1.26-1.el9 is broken.

How reproducible:
Every time. Install later selinux-policy, and it breaks. Downgrade back to 34.1.25-1 and it works again.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install plasma-workspace
2. On login screen select Plasma (X11)
3. With selinux-policy 34.1.25 it works, with later versions login never completes.

Actual results:
Black screen, no KDE loading splash screen, no desktop.

Expected results:
Login should complete and lead to a working desktop.

Possibly a duplicate of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2058657

In order to find out what exactly is the cause, we need to see SELinux denials that are triggered in enforcing and permissive mode.

Please collect SELinux denials and attach them to this BZ:

# ausearch -m avc -m user_avc -m selinux_err -i -ts today

Thank you.
