Description Wade Nelson 2006-10-30 15:28:19 EST

Description of problem:
With Epiphany set as preffered application for brower, hyperlinks from
OpenOffice.org cannot be opened due to SELinux.  SELinux policy is set to
'enforcing'.  Epiphany and epiphany-extensions are installed, as well as all
major OpenOffice.org components.  Behaviour is the same for all OpenOffice.org
components.  Hyperlinks open in Firefox 1.5 just fine.

Error displayed:
Could not start GNOME Web Browser
Startup failed because of the following error:
Connection ":1.14" is not allowed to own the service "org.gnome.Epiphany" due to
SELinux policy

The Connection ":1.14" part varies, I've seen it say ":1.12" as well.

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install epiphany (and epiphany-extensions if necessary) and set as preferred
browser in GNOME preferences to open links in new tab
2. Create or open an OpenOffice.org document with a hyperlink
3. Click hyperlink within document.
  
Actual results:
SELinux error as above

Expected results:
Link should open in new epiphany tab as specified in GNOME preferences

This sounds like a badly labeled shared library.  Do you see any avc messages in
/var/log/message or /var/log/audit/audit.log

Closing as I believe this was a labeling problem.
