setsebool -P virt_use_fusefs 1

Comment 2 Germán Ríos 2012-04-06 16:35:58 UTC
I have a question, if allow this, is not the default policy to treat the gnome boxes application, so make this "setsebool -P virt_use_fusefs 1" is a mandatory step to use it the app after out the box?

PD: Sorry for my horrible english, thank you in advance for your answer, and I know is a trivial step but I do not know why this is not the default

*There is not a stupid questions, only stupid like me who raise a question... I am a noob with linux :P

Comment 3 Miroslav Grepl 2012-04-10 09:39:23 UTC
The problem is a system can be setup in a variety ways. And SELinux uses booleans to cover these ways. 

And this also reason why we have setroubleshoot which should tell you how to do it using a boolean.
