:*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************
:
:If you believe that qemu-system-x86 should be allowed write access on the nixos-minimal-0.1pre34218-34232-i686-linux.iso.log file 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 qemu-system-x86 /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
:# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Dag Odenhall 2012-05-27 17:33:56 UTC
More generally, gnome-boxes fails to create boxes from images with the error message "Box creation failed!" at which point a SELinux alert like this one pops up.
