SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/gnome-session-check-accelerated-helper from 'read, write' accesses on the chr_file nvidiactl. ***** Plugin device (91.4 confidence) suggests ***************************** If you want to allow gnome-session-check-accelerated-helper to have read write access on the nvidiactl chr_file Then you need to change the label on nvidiactl to a type of a similar device. Do # semanage fcontext -a -t SIMILAR_TYPE 'nvidiactl' # restorecon -v 'nvidiactl' ***** Plugin catchall (9.59 confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that gnome-session-check-accelerated-helper should be allowed read write access on the nvidiactl chr_file 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-c /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:device_t:s0 Target Objects nvidiactl [ chr_file ] Source gnome-session-c Source Path /usr/libexec/gnome-session-check-accelerated- helper Port <Unknown> Host Jehovah.localdomain Source RPM Packages gnome-session-3.0.1-2.fc15 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.9.16-26.fc15 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name Jehovah.localdomain Platform Linux Jehovah.localdomain 2.6.38.7-30.fc15.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri May 27 05:15:53 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 5 First Seen Mon 06 Jun 2011 06:40:55 AM MDT Last Seen Tue 07 Jun 2011 05:20:46 AM MDT Local ID e2321259-3895-45f0-8eaa-1d2294ce8e89 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1307445646.599:49): avc: denied { read write } for pid=1630 comm="gnome-session-c" name="nvidiactl" dev=devtmpfs ino=15320 scontext=system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:device_t:s0 tclass=chr_file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1307445646.599:49): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=no exit=EACCES a0=7fff4eae8860 a1=2 a2=7fff4eae886e a3=7fff4eae81f0 items=0 ppid=1623 pid=1630 auid=4294967295 uid=42 gid=42 euid=42 suid=42 fsuid=42 egid=42 sgid=42 fsgid=42 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=gnome-session-c exe=/usr/libexec/gnome-session-check-accelerated-helper subj=system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash: gnome-session-c,xdm_t,device_t,chr_file,read,write audit2allow #============= xdm_t ============== allow xdm_t device_t:chr_file { read write }; audit2allow -R #============= xdm_t ============== allow xdm_t device_t:chr_file { read write }; -- Lawrence E Graves <lgraves@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
