Description Pavel Zhukov 2012-03-09 17:23:58 UTC
Description of problem:
SELinux is preventing /usr/lib64/xulrunner-2/plugin-container from add_name access on the directory spice-xpi.log.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
spice-xpi-2.7-1.fc17.x86_64
xulrunner-10.0.1-3.fc17.x86_64


How reproducible:
Enable selinux in enforce mode.

I have created ~/.spicec and change content to mozilla_plugin_t but problem still persists

Comment 1 Marc-Andre Lureau 2012-03-09 18:21:19 UTC
spice-xpi 2.8 will no longer use ~/.spicec.

I just sent an additional patch to Spice ML making sure we don't touch this anymore.

We should release a 2.8 version for f17.

Comment 2 Miroslav Grepl 2012-04-04 14:09:30 UTC
Did you setup your own label?

It looks so. The mozilla_plugin_t label is for process. Just run 

$ restorecon -R -v ~/

It should fix your issue.

NOTABUG doesn't seem like the correct status for this.  It certainly is a bug (in either spice-xpi or the SELinux policy).

And spice-xpi 2.8 doesn't appear to actually exist yet.  (I can find no evidence of it in Koji or on spice-space.org.)  Please don't close bugs until the fix is available.

Comment 4 Ian Pilcher 2012-06-19 14:55:51 UTC
Aargh!  I glossed over comment #2, because I had not set manually set any contexts in my home directory.  Nonetheless, the context of ~/.spicec was the problem.  (Note to self: 'restorecon -r *' is not the same as 'restorecon -r .')

Nothing to see here.  Move along.
