Yes some how this got mislabeled.

Yes, I ran the restorecon command as you described  it ('restorecon -R -v ~/.pki') and things were fine again. So I guess my .pki settings were wrongly changed at some point in the past, right?

I'll keep the setsebool method for the next time chrome breaks, I'm afraid in a few updates.

Thanks,

It looks like chrome is allowed to read files labeled home_cert_t but might be blocked form other types.

You could also turn off the chrome security using a boolean

setsebool -P unconfined_chrome_sandbox_transition 1

Which would do the equivalent of what you did in relabelling the executable to bin_t.

Hi,

my original fix was more coarse grained than this: I set the type of the chrome-sandbox to the generic SELinux executable (was it bin_t?).

Anyway, I tried your suggestion (a chrome update broke my fix several days ago, and I was back to 'setenforce 0' mode) and it also solves the problem.

Any ideas on why I don't get an explicit error message? Something like 'selinux is preventing chrome-sandbox from accessing .pki'? Or is the problem too indirect for selinux to figure out what's going wrong exactly?

Kind regards,

Hi,

I recently had to do some selinux tuning to have chrome correctly start on my fedora 20 box. I googled around and eventually found the correct type to apply to the chrome executable in order to make it work.

So the problem is solved, but the error messages that I got were much less informative than I expected. After watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxjenQ31b70 on selinux configuration, I was expecting messages in a format like "selinux is preventing X from access on directoy Y", but instead...

'journal -f' provided nothing useful; 'tail -f /var/log/audit/audit.log' showed a couple of log lines which actually mentioned chrome, but in too generic a manner (see below):

--------------------------------------

--------------------------------------

Before I fixed the problem, launching google-chrome from command line resulted in an error message about the impossibility of creating directory .pki/nssdb in my home. No mention of this directory name in the audit.

And to finish, the SELinux troubleshooting tool didn't show anything at all.

Why don't I see a richer diagnostics? Am I missing some configuration?

What exactly did you do to fix the problem?  Did you have to fix the labels on .pki?  restorecon -R -v ~/.pki
