Description marco 2012-11-19 22:32:55 UTC
Description of problem:
I'm testing Fedora 18 pre-release.
It happens every time when I want to change the localtime in the Date/Time widget on the taskbar (as a normal user).

First I got in /var/log/messages:
SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/kde4/kcmdatetimehelper from write access on the directory /. For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l d94a0560-ecec-4460-b081-6ffa5f4934c2

Then after setting 'setenforce permissive' it opens the Alert Browser and in /var/log/messages:


SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/kde4/kcmdatetimehelper from write access on the directory /root/.kde. For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l 36456c90-68a9-47c9-a119-962e28a5cdc1


Additional info:
libreport version: 2.0.18
kernel:         3.6.6-9.fc18.x86_64

:*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************
:
:If you believe that kcmdatetimehelper should be allowed write access on the .kde directory 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 kcmdatetimehelp /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
:# semodule -i mypol.pp
