Description of problem: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/gnome-shell from 'read' accesses on the file /opt/VirtualBox/virtualbox.desktop. ***** Plugin restorecon (94.8 confidence) suggests ************************* If you want to fix the label. /opt/VirtualBox/virtualbox.desktop default label should be usr_t. Then you can run restorecon. Do # /sbin/restorecon -v /opt/VirtualBox/virtualbox.desktop ***** Plugin catchall_labels (5.21 confidence) suggests ******************** If you want to allow gnome-shell to have read access on the
