Description Michal Nowak 2013-02-18 15:15:37 UTC
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
