sandbox -X does nothing at all after F19 upgrade
Last modified: 2013-10-08 07:25:15 EDT
I upgraded to F19, and sandbox -X appears to be completely broken. $ sandbox -X echo foo $ sandbox -X echo foo $ sandbox -X gnome-terminal $ sandbox -X sleep 10 All of those commands exit quickly and have no apparent effect. audit.log, dmesg, and journalctl show nothing. strace suggests that the seunshare command is returning with exit code 255. (But strace may interfere with seunshare, so this could be entirely meaninglyss.) Relabeling /, /tmp, and (recursively) my home directory had no effect.
You need to grab the latest X package. I think it is xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.14.2-5 Xephyr dropped the -resizable flag which is causing the breakage. You could also remove this option from /usr/share/sandbox/sandboxX.sh for now.
Thanks for the information Daniel. I was hit with the same issue. I have disabled the option in the mentioned shell script and it's working OK now. At least the window doesn't look like an alien app in KDE anymore ;-) Eric
This is broken again, but removing -resizable from /usr/share/sandbox/sandboxX.sh is not having any effect. > [d@gaspode tmp]$ sandbox echo foo > foo > [d@gaspode tmp]$ sandbox -X echo foo > [d@gaspode tmp]$ policycoreutils.x86_64 2.1.14-46.5.fc19 policycoreutils-devel.x86_64 2.1.14-46.5.fc19 policycoreutils-gui.x86_64 2.1.14-46.5.fc19 policycoreutils-python.x86_64 2.1.14-46.5.fc19 policycoreutils-sandbox.x86_64 2.1.14-46.5.fc19 xorg-x11-server-Xephyr.x86_64 1.14.3-1.fc19 Nothing in journal, dmesg, audit, no selinux alerts.
