I updated a default install in qemu-kvm of Fedora 18 to rawhide using yum. After the update finished and I had rebooted, I tried to change the host name like this: [root@Fedora-18-x86_64-netinst ~]# hostnamectl set-hostname Fedora-rawhide-x86_64 Failed to issue method call: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. [root@Fedora-18-x86_64-netinst ~]# After setting the SELinux mode to permissive, it worked: [root@Fedora-18-x86_64-netinst ~]# setenforce 0 [root@Fedora-18-x86_64-netinst ~]# hostnamectl set-hostname Fedora-rawhide-x86_64 [root@Fedora-18-x86_64-netinst ~]# cat /etc/hostname fedora-rawhide-x86_64 [root@Fedora-18-x86_64-netinst ~]#
Fixed in selinux-policy-3.11.1-84.fc18
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

After installing Fedora 19 Alpha with selinux-policy-3.12.1-28: # hostnamectl --static set-hostname kat.localhost.localdomain should work but checking with less /etc/hostname only shows "localhost.localdomain" Also: # hostnamectl set-hostname kat.localhost.localdomain gives Failed to issue method call: Access denied Idem for the other variants. So it still does not work.
