Description Stefan Seefeld 2011-11-15 18:49:12 UTC 
Description of problem:

After booting I'm trying to log in via kdm. I get

"Warning: Cannot open ConsoleKit session: Unable to open session: Message did not receive a reply )timeout by message bus)"

Browsing /var/lib/messages for traces I find this:

[system] Successfully actyivat4d service 'org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit'
console-kit-demon[...]: process ...: D-Bus library appears to be incorrectly set up; failed to read machine uuid: Failed to open "/etc/machine-id": Permission denied


However, the "/etc/machine-id" file does exist and is world-readable. What is wrong here ? (I just upgraded from F15 to F16, so something appears to have been corrupted in the process.

Thanks,

              Stefan

It turns out I can work around the issue by disabling selinux. So this may be an issue related to issue 746456. (I'll change the component, but leave it up to someone more knowledgeable to decide whether this is actually a duplicate.

Did you try to boot in permissive mode? If no, could you boot with kernel parameter

# enforcing=0

and after booot

# dmesg |grep avc

# ausearch -m avc -ts recent

restorecon -R -v /etc

Should fix your machineid problem.
