Description of problem: Fresh Fedora 18 install. 1. Open Firefox (default browser). 2. Go to http://quakelive.com/ 3. Log in, let the game install its plugin, let Firefox restart. 4. After the restart, page hangs on "starting Quake Live plugin...". (Looks like the plugin doesn't even check for errors when creating $HOME/.quakelive) This alert has been reported half an hour later, long after closing the browser. I have to say, this is horrible user experience - stuff not working and the alert not being shown when it happens, so normal user would probably ignore this alert and never connect to the non-working game. SELinux is preventing plugin-containe from 'create' accesses on the directory .quakelive. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that plugin-containe should be allowed create access on the .quakelive 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 plugin-containe /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context unconfined_u:unconfined_r:mozilla_plugin_t:s0-s0:c 0.c1023 Target Context unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_dir_t:s0 Target Objects .quakelive [ dir ] Source plugin-containe Source Path plugin-containe Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.11.1-66.fc18.noarch selinux- policy-3.11.1-67.fc18.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.6.10-4.fc18.i686.PAE #1 SMP Tue Dec 11 18:15:08 UTC 2012 i686 i686 Alert Count 830 First Seen 2013-01-16 00:48:06 CET Last Seen 2013-01-16 00:50:54 CET Local ID c448e08a-ae70-49fc-a756-e8ee335e4cbc Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1358293854.828:1735): avc: denied { create } for pid=7020 comm="plugin-containe" name=".quakelive" scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:mozilla_plugin_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_dir_t:s0 tclass=dir Hash: plugin-containe,mozilla_plugin_t,user_home_dir_t,dir,create audit2allow #============= mozilla_plugin_t ============== allow mozilla_plugin_t user_home_dir_t:dir create; audit2allow -R #============= mozilla_plugin_t ============== allow mozilla_plugin_t user_home_dir_t:dir create; Additional info: hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.6.10-4.fc18.i686.PAE type: libreport Potential duplicate: bug 799313
