Description of problem: Returned from hibernation, started LO Writer, and fiddled with System Settings via GNOME tool. SELinux is preventing /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-localed from 'write' accesses on the chr_file kmsg. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that systemd-localed should be allowed write access on the kmsg chr_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 systemd-localed /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:systemd_localed_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:kmsg_device_t:s0 Target Objects kmsg [ chr_file ] Source systemd-localed Source Path /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-localed Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages systemd-197-1.fc18.1.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.11.1-78.fc18.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.7.6-201.fc18.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Feb 4 15:54:08 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2013-02-18 16:13:21 CET Last Seen 2013-02-18 16:13:21 CET Local ID 686cb5d4-9387-4206-b1fe-64795c3ab4fb Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1361200401.798:164): avc: denied { write } for pid=27813 comm="systemd-localed" name="kmsg" dev="devtmpfs" ino=1034 scontext=system_u:system_r:systemd_localed_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:kmsg_device_t:s0 tclass=chr_file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1361200401.798:164): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=no exit=EACCES a0=7f47551e2846 a1=80101 a2=0 a3=7f47543fb960 items=0 ppid=1 pid=27813 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 ses=4294967295 tty=(none) comm=systemd-localed exe=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-localed subj=system_u:system_r:systemd_localed_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: systemd-localed,systemd_localed_t,kmsg_device_t,chr_file,write audit2allow #============= systemd_localed_t ============== allow systemd_localed_t kmsg_device_t:chr_file write; audit2allow -R #============= systemd_localed_t ============== allow systemd_localed_t kmsg_device_t:chr_file write; Additional info: hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.7.6-201.fc18.x86_64 type: libreport
