gdm has problems with selinux or vice versa

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Dear all,

after updating and getting the INIT: error that I had posted before, I can login by pressing enter and get X, however, when starting up I am greeted by setroubleshooter with some messages 

[olivares@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/fedora-release 
Fedora release 8.90 (Rawhide)
[olivares@localhost ~]$ date
Sun Nov 11 10:40:25 CST 2007
[olivares@localhost ~]$ 

I try to apply the fix suggested, but it does not seem to be working :(

Summary
    SELinux is preventing gdm (xdm_t) "execute" to <Unknown> (rpm_exec_t).

Detailed Description
    SELinux denied access requested by gdm. It is not expected that this access
    is required by gdm and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is
    also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application
    is causing it to require additional access.

Allowing Access
    Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials.  You could try to
    restore the default system file context for <Unknown>, restorecon -v
    <Unknown> If this does not work, there is currently no automatic way to
    allow this access. Instead,  you can generate a local policy module to allow
    this access - see http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385
    Or you can disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux
    protection is not recommended. Please file a
    http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi against this package.
