[root@f14 ~]# setsebool -P unconfined_chrome_sandbox_transition 0
libsemanage.dbase_llist_set: record not found in the database (No such
file or directory).
libsemanage.dbase_llist_set: could not set record value (No such file
or directory).
Could not change boolean unconfined_chrome_sandbox_transition
Could not change policy booleans

so that failed; all greek to me.

[root@f14 ~]# restorecon -v /opt/google/chrome/chrome-sandbox
restorecon reset /opt/google/chrome/chrome-sandbox context
system_u:object_r:chrome_sandbox_exec_t:s0->system_u:object_r:usr_t:s0

Now, chrome comes up!


Thanks to Daniel for the explanation, even tho my understanding is weak-to-nil.

Thanks to Lance for the fix!
