I got this setroubleshoot message:
SELinux is preventing /sbin/ldconfig (ldconfig_t) "write" to
/var/log/nvidia-installer.log (var_log_t). The SELinux type var_log_t,
is a generic type for all files in the directory and very few processes
(SELinux Domains) are allowed to write to this SELinux type. This type
of denial usual indicates a mislabeled file. By default a file created
in a directory has the gets the context of the parent directory, but
SELinux policy has rules about the creation of directories, that say if
a process running in one SELinux Domain (D1) creates a file in a
directory with a particular SELinux File Context (F1) the file gets a
different File Context (F2). The policy usually allows the SELinux
Domain (D1) the ability to write or append on (F2). But if for some
reason a file (/var/log/nvidia-installer.log) was created with the wrong
context, this domain will be denied. The usual solution to this problem
is to reset the file context on the target file, restorecon -v
/var/log/nvidia-installer.log. If the file context does not change from
var_log_t, then this is probably a bug in policy. Please file a bug
report against the selinux-policy package. If it does change, you can
try your application again to see if it works. The file context could
have been mislabeled by editing the file or moving the file from a
different directory, if the file keeps getting mislabeled, check the
init scripts to see if they are doing something to mislabel the file.
I did as they suggested and it seemed to fix the problem. This is the
first error SElinux has made on F8. It was so bad on F7 I deleted it.
