Selinux is a way to lock down a Linux system. All I am trying to do is get a UNIX user to be able to open X windows. All the Google searches show how to use semanage, but with no status for the selinux user that is created the Dbus cannot send messages to the X window system. The message I get is:
Unable to contact settings server An SELinux policy prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient. 0 matched rules: type-"method_call", sender="(null)" (inactive) interface="org.freedesktop.DBus" member="Hello" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination="org.freedesktop.DBus" (bus) The next screen is another alert: Unable to load a failsafe session Unable to determina failsafe session name. Possible causes: xfconfd isn't running (D-Bus setup problem); environment variable $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS is set incorrectly (must include "/etc"), or xfce4-session is installed incorrectly. This last alert seems to be a result of the first alert. The logged in user always gets and unprivileged SELinux id: u:r:chromeos:s0 But semanange user -l: SELinux User Labeling Prefix MLS MLS Range SELinux Roles u user None None So no matter what policies or users I try I cannot change any policy or add any users with higher privileges. THE QUESTION, finally: How do I get out of this ChromeOS jail? I want X windows to work so I an use OpenCPN on my sailboat. If you don't want the solution posted on this forum, email me privately.
