Description of problem: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/gnome-session from 'setattr' accesses on the directory at-spi2. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that gnome-session should be allowed setattr access on the at-spi2 directory 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 gnome-session /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context system_u:object_r:tmp_t:s0 Target Objects at-spi2 [ dir ] Source gnome-session Source Path /usr/bin/gnome-session Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages gnome-shell-3.4.1-6.fc17.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.10.0-170.fc17.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.9.8-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jun 27 19:19:57 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 3 First Seen 2013-07-08 14:15:50 CDT Last Seen 2013-07-08 14:15:52 CDT Local ID d0441720-0d68-4575-8d6c-46280766d82b Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1373310952.271:44): avc: denied { setattr } for pid=1023 comm="gnome-shell" name="at-spi2" dev="dm-1" ino=1051792 scontext=system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:tmp_t:s0 tclass=dir type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1373310952.271:44): arch=x86_64 syscall=chmod success=no exit=EACCES a0=7ff1653fa761 a1=3ff a2=11 a3=7fffd484fe70 items=0 ppid=942 pid=1023 auid=42 uid=42 gid=42 euid=42 suid=42 fsuid=42 egid=42 sgid=42 fsgid=42 ses=1 tty=(none) comm=gnome-shell exe=/usr/bin/gnome-shell subj=system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash: gnome-session,xdm_t,tmp_t,dir,setattr audit2allow #============= xdm_t ============== #!!!!
