Apologies, yes, Fedora Rawhide. I am a rolling release kind of person.

I suspect that that is the issue causing my problem.

I believe I will just run with SELINUX=permissive from now on so as to
avoid these relatively frequent problems. Human testers seem unneeded
for catching these problems, and I am not convinced SELinux is actually
doing anything useful for individuals running Rawhide. Or maybe I am
missing something…

You don't say what you're running, but if it's Rawhide, this sounds like:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1355861

bugs like this are usually fixed promptly.

GDM and SELinux…

2016-07-14 Thread Russel Winder
It appears that there is a GDM and SELinux problem again, at least
there is an SELinux problem and GDM generally seems to be the culprit.

Enforcing means GDM does not start, Permissive means it does.

Is SELinux really worth it, or should I just switch it off and forget
it?
