Yes, I know F9 is obsolete but I still use it! BTW: for some reason I am not getting back selinux emails that I posted which is why I sent it twice - was the a burp in the mailing system? Just need to figure out what this means and a fix for it please? ================================================= Summary: SELinux is preventing the gnome-settings- from using potentially mislabeled files (socket). Detailed Description: SELinux has denied gnome-settings- access to potentially mislabeled file(s) (socket). This means that SELinux will not allow gnome-settings- to use these files. It is common for users to edit files in their home directory or tmp directories and then move (mv) them to system directories. The problem is that the files end up with the wrong file context which confined applications are not allowed to access. Allowing Access: If you want gnome-settings- to access this files, you need to relabel them using restorecon -v 'socket'. You might want to relabel the entire directory using restorecon -R -v '<Unknown>'.
