Description Niki Guldbrand 2013-01-07 21:44:49 UTC
Description of problem:
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/evince-thumbnailer from 'write' accesses on the sock_file socket.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that evince-thumbnailer should be allowed write access on the socket sock_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 evince-thumbnai /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 2 Alexander van Loon 2013-01-26 13:58:26 UTC
Not sure if the bug I experienced is similar, but I got this SELinux warning when I opened a PDF file in Evince (and I've seen more warnings related to evince-thumbnailer, too):

SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/evince-thumbnailer from search access on the directory 1684.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that evince-thumbnailer should be allowed search access on the 1684 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 evince-thumbnai /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
