Description Adam Williamson 2013-03-18 19:57:39 UTC
I have no idea how CK got pulled into the F19 desktop live compose I just did, but disregarding that, CK fails to start if SELinux is enforcing:

This is a clean F19 live image compose from current F19 repos.

What does

# ausearch -m user_avc

Comment 2 Miroslav Grepl 2013-03-18 20:48:02 UTC
Ok, I think you see

The problem is we removed consolekit policy in F19.

Comment 3 Adam Williamson 2013-03-18 21:21:44 UTC
It shouldn't be dropped unless and until the CK package is actually killed.

[root@adam images]# repoquery --whatrequires ConsoleKit
ConsoleKit-docs-0:0.4.5-4.fc19.x86_64
ConsoleKit-x11-0:0.4.5-4.fc19.x86_64
cdm-0:0.5.3-9.fc19.noarch
lxsession-0:0.4.6.1-5.fc19.x86_64

Looks like we're down to LXDE and cdm now.

Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2013-03-19 23:39:26 UTC
uggg, can we open bugs with these tools to get rid of the requirement.

Comment 5 Adam Williamson 2013-03-20 05:11:22 UTC
Last I checked, the 'submit bug' button worked, yes. :)

Comment 7 Adam Williamson 2013-04-09 21:49:22 UTC
I believe this bug prevents the LXDE live images from starting up correctly by default: try booting the LXDE live image from one of the Alpha TCs/RCs and all you get is a black screen. Actually booting with enforcing=0 doesn't succeed either, so I think there's another bug lurking behind this one for LXDM, but enforcing=0 does at least allow ConsoleKit startup to succeed, and I'm pretty sure we're going to need that for LXDM to work.

It seems like migrating LXDM off of CK isn't going to happen in the short term, so can we put the CK policy back in F19 at least for now? Thanks!

Nominating as a freeze exception bug as it's a blocker for the LXDE spin.

Comment 8 Peter H. Jones 2013-04-18 14:48:21 UTC
I have found a way to start LXDE Live Alpha FC19 with enforcing unchanged:

1. Boot normally
2. When system settles down, use CTRL-ALT-F2 to open a login screen.
3. Login as liveuser
4. Enter the command startx. LXDE starts normally.

Comment 9 Daniel Walsh 2013-04-18 20:47:21 UTC
Fixed in selinux-policy-3.12.1-33.fc19.noarch


Consolekit policy was added back.

Comment 10 Adam Williamson 2013-04-30 18:43:27 UTC
selinux-policy-3.12.1-34.fc19 went stable, so let's close this.
