Description cyrushmh 2011-05-22 17:46:39 UTC
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/xauth from 'create' accesses on the shared memory Unknown.

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

If you believe that xauth should be allowed create access on the Unknown shm 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:
# grep xauth /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2011-05-23 08:04:33 UTC
If you execute

# semanage permissive -a xauth_t ("semanage permissive -d xauth_t" is opposite command)

and re-test, what AVC msgs are you getting? And is it working then?

I just use optimus with vgl << VirtualGL

and 'optirun64 glxglears'
and try other run with optirun64 ...
maybe it was not bug,,

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2011-05-23 19:51:37 UTC
I did not know that xauthority ever used shared memory, but I see no reason to block this.

Fixed in selinux-policy-3.9.16-25.fc15
