Description of problem: SeLinux prevents X11 session management running. This seems to be a consolekit interaction. There is consequent failure of PackageKit etc. Nov 20 00:45:57 Updated: selinux-policy-3.3.1-107.fc9.noarch Nov 20 00:50:57 Updated: selinux-policy-targeted-3.3.1-107.fc9.noarch Dec 14 01:32:54 Updated: selinux-policy-3.3.1-111.fc9.noarch Dec 14 01:33:59 Updated: selinux-policy-targeted-3.3.1-111.fc9.noarch (I'm running targeted/enforcing) Can't find a way to get ConsoleKit details, but ck-list-sessions 0.2.10 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start X session 2. Run Package installer (or anything else that depends on ConsoleKit) Actual results: Package installer fails to launch (no messages, just appears in the list of applications at the screen bottom for a few seconds, then disappears without launching a window). Expected results: Package installer runs normally Additional info: Although the symptoms are slightly different, I think this is probably the same problem as I previously documented as Bug 476402 (the primary difference in that case being that the X11 session was running from vnc) - I finally got an opportunity to run the machine with a directly connected monitor. I'm raising a separate bug mainly to make sure it's clear that it's not just a vncserver problem. I note that I may not be the only user reporting this problem as arising recently: http://n2.nabble.com/Nautilus-doesn%27t-start-td1633015.html seems to be referring to a similar problem. setroubleshoot reports a problem with ck-get-x11-serv (I assume it's the cause of the above). See sel_ckgetx11serv.pdf I don't think it's just a labeling problem, as this problem recurred immediately after an autorelabel. However I can't guarantee that the autorelabel was successful, as selinux reported some problems with restorecon at about the time the autorelabel should have been happening (see sel_restorecon.pdf). I can't figure any way to check this.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
