Description of problem: Just booted the F19 Final TC5 LXDE live. Other desktop lives didn't do this; not sure if something's different on LXDE or it's a race of some kind. SELinux is preventing spice-vdagentd from 'module_request' accesses on the system . ***** Plugin catchall_boolean (89.3 confidence) suggests ******************* If you want to allow domain to kernel load modules Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the 'domain_kernel_load_modules' boolean. You can read 'None' man page for more details. Do setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1 ***** Plugin catchall (11.6 confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that spice-vdagentd should be allowed module_request access on the system 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 spice-vdagentd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:vdagent_t:s0 Target Context system_u:system_r:kernel_t:s0 Target Objects [ system ] Source spice-vdagentd Source Path spice-vdagentd Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.12.1-52.fc19.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.9.5-301.fc19.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 11 19:39:38 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2013-06-18 03:43:04 EDT Last Seen 2013-06-18 03:43:04 EDT Local ID 22e1da91-6530-4a65-bf9c-df678a197308 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1371541384.351:385): avc: denied { module_request } for pid=509 comm="spice-vdagentd" kmod="char-major-10-223" scontext=system_u:system_r:vdagent_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:kernel_t:s0 tclass=system Hash: spice-vdagentd,vdagent_t,kernel_t,system,module_request Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.1.5 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.9.5-301.fc19.x86_64 type: libreport
Nominating as a final freeze exception, "In most cases, there must be no SELinux 'AVC: denied' messages or abrt crash notifications on initial boot and subsequent login (see Blocker_Bug_FAQ)" for a non-blocking desktop.
Same AVC on boot of the MATE-Compiz live image.

Thanks, mgrepl. As we're in final freeze and close to release, can you do a build/update fairly soon? Thanks!
Yes, will do ASAP. There are other bugs.
Discussed at 2013-06-19 freeze exception review meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2013-06-19/f19final-blocker-review-7.2013-06-19-16.01.log.txt . Accepted as a freeze exception issue as a violation of the 'no AVCs' criterion for non-blocking desktops (so far this hasn't been reported for a GNOME or KDE install).
