Description Ludovic 2025-01-15 09:21:26 UTC
When plugging in the laptop, an SELinux error message appears about an AVC denial.

Fedora 41 is fully up to date, been having this issue for a while now (possibly ever since upgrading to F41).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. have fedora up and running, with the laptop unplugged
2. plugin the charging cable
3. message "New SELinux security alert - AVC denial" shows up after a second or so


Expected Results:  
No error message from SELinux.

SELinux is preventing power-profiles- from write access on the file energy_performance_preference.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that power-profiles- should be allowed write access on the energy_performance_preference file 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 'power-profiles-' --raw | audit2allow -M my-powerprofiles
# semodule -X 300 -i my-powerprofiles.pp
