SELinux problems after F10->F11 upgrade in x86_64 system

2009-06-14 Thread Antti J. Huhtala
Hi all,

there have been a lot (well over 100 during the 1st 12 hours) of
dbusd-related SELinux denials after upgrading my x86_64 system from F10
to F11. In F10 and earlier SELinux problems were usually caused by
various fail2ban operations but now these denials - probably due to
updated fail2ban in F11  - are practically non-existent.

In F10 (and earlier) it was possible to get rid of SELinux denials by
compiling and installing a local module derived from
either /var/log/messages or /var/log/audit/audit.log, as explained in
SELinux FAQ.

However, the local module method doesn't seem to be effective in the
dbusd case - or I am doing something wrong. Compiling the local module
doesn't report any errors but installing it results in:

[r...@mybox ~]# semodule -i local.pp
libsepol.print_missing_requirements: local's global requirements were
not met: type/attribute unconfined_t
libsemanage.semanage_link_sandbox: Link packages failed
semodule:  Failed!
[r...@mybox ~]# 

After running 'touch /.autorelabel; reboot' I got rid of 'File label'
denials but the 'dbusd' ones are still there.

So what now?

TIA, Antti

Please look at bug # 475237. Though it originally didn't mention your
particular problem, the latter was one of many fail2ban-related SELinux
denials I encountered. In my case, the problem was solved by building a
*local module* enabling the coexistence of fail2ban and SELinux.
The procedure is explained in SELinux FAQ, but you may have to repeat
the procedure several times.
My local.te file is available (off-list) if you need it.

Unfortunately, yes, though not necessarily with mp3 files only. My F10
system also suffers from "snap, crackle and pop" syndrome with all audio
reproduction. My MB is an ASUS K8N, and pulseaudio is working perfectly
with my F9 system using the same hardware.

I sincerely don't know where the blame really lies but there are several
remedies already offered. One is removing alsa-plugins-pulseaudio, the
other is editing /etc/pulse/default.pa
(http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=206868 ), and the third
was published just yesterday on this list by Francois Patte under the
title of "Re: sound on fedora 10[SOLVED(?)]".
I haven't tried any of these yet but I'm somewhat perplexed by the fact
that now that F10 has been available for 4 months, the problems with
audio are still there. Isn't anybody writing bug reports any longer? I
would have, but I've just had F10 installed a couple of weeks.

I wonder if "Edit connections" now works even for per-user settings? A
few days ago I finally installed F10 from original (Nov -08) x86_64 DVD.
That version seemed to allow me to edit NM connections at least somehow
but I didn't do it before downloading some 340 M of updates. After that
"Edit connections" was useless (greyed out) for ordinary user.
Because I have a wired cable modem (at eth0) and a NATted Centos 5.2 box
connected to Internet (via eth1) through the F10 box, I could not make
NM behave the way I wanted. 
Maybe the original ifcfg-eth0 default of 'ONBOOT=no' is not a bug but it
surely is a poor choice for someone like me with no wireless devices.
After struggling a while with NM trying to configure it the way I
wanted, I had to disable NM altogether and configure the trusty old
network service like it is in my F9 system. To add insult to injury, it
is now necessary to install gnome-netstatus applet separately because it
has been removed from basic F10 installation's 'add-to-panel-gadgets'.

To me it looks like "life is too short for NM".

I sent my comments to you off-list but now that it's all public I'd like

That's good. Learning how to properly use PulseAudio Volume Control in

That's all right if you only use one audio application at a time.
However, sometimes one needs to use more. Here's a quotation from my
private mail to another list member:

"I'm attaching a small text file (of 'top') demonstrating successful use
of pulseaudio. I had Rhythmbox playing some of my favorite records. This
stream was directed to USB headphones. Simultaneously I had totem
(actually totem-xine with all the non-free codecs) playing a movie. This
stream was directed to loudspeakers through the Ensonic SB sound card.
Please note the relatively low average load, even if I have Firefox and
some other programs running.
Both audio signals were completely free of pops or crackles - and there
were no "holes" in the audio output of either. Those holes were plaguing
PA all the time when pulseaudio was new to Fedora :-("

I know that alsamixer already worked well around F7 era or so. Now I
need two sound cards working simultaneously with different streams to be
used in my SDR (Software-Defined Radio) experiments. I can't see how
alsamixer could handle that.

Well, it has generated a few rather even-tempered comments so far. I
doubt that this will develop into a flame war on this list.

To conclude, I understand that if someone - especially a newbie - has
trouble getting *any* sounds from his/her system, minimizing the number
of possible culprits (such as pulseaudio) can perhaps be justified. Now
that PulseAudio has reached a stable state, more often than not the
problem is probably elsewhere. Of course, my experience is based only on
the hardware I use. It might not be as plain sailing for other HW
combinations.

Replying to my own post: After trying what Alan Cox suggested in another
thread (Re: getting sound back) on 28th July, my pulseaudio sound worked
OK all day yesterday using the latest 2.6.25.11-97.fc9.x86_64 kernel.

In addition, there are already a number of bug reports in bugzilla that
cover the PA issue (eg. 456485, 455661, 455202, 452702, and 438284) for
F9. Check these and add a comment if you think you can shed more light
on the problem. I decided my experience had little or no added value.

Not by me, and haven't had the time to check if someone else has.
I briefly tried the previous kernel and PA seems to work OK in it.
I'll write a bug report tomorrow if no one else has by then.

As in "Daemonize after startup, i.e. detach from the terminal." I see.

I did not try that because sound via loudspeakers still worked using
"ES1371 DAC1". Some KDE games direct sounds to USB headphones now.

Yes, same and similar problems. I haven't tried Skype but when I
redirected gtreamer stream to USB headphones instead of the usual
loudspeakers of my Athlon64 desktop, Rhythmbox would play one track for
a couple of minutes but then sound suddenly died in the middle of the
track. I didn't do anything but listened.

'dmesg | grep pulseaudio' shows this:

pulseaudio[2696]: segfault at 7f6acfca7330 ip 7f6acfca7330 sp
7fffdd2d5b58 error 14 in pulse-shm-1926128445[7f6ad04e6000+201000]

It is high above my grasp of things to even try to guess what this
means. It probably is a new quirk, appearing after latest kernel update.

Thank you, Anne. I got it working as well by briefly visiting KDE which

Right. The guys seem to argue whether it is a HAL or udev problem.

The interesting question is why Amarok is able to read a CD when all

Guess I have to update my posts on this subject, too: 

Just out of curiosity I logged out of my usual Gnome desktop and logged
in KDE. There I started Firefox and - lo and behold - I had sound both
on CNN and Youtube!
Going back to Gnome, same thing again: sound on CNN and Youtube. I did
not update or install anything between no-sound and sound experiences.
Just changing from one desktop to another seems to have flipped whatever
bit was in wrong state - and it stayed put when changing back to Gnome.

Whatever the true explanation is, I had no sound on flash videos just a
few hours earlier. I also did not adjust anything such as ALSA mixer
settings or the like. It's a mystery to me...

Maybe I should add that I've used F9 since May and I've been listening
to Youtube videos with it for longer than a month.

It's not quite that simple, I'm afraid. CNN and Youtube are silent here,
too. A week or so ago I was listening to some favourites of mine on
Youtube but today it is silent even if video still works all right. I'd
suspect one of the recent updates. This may have something to do with
another thread, "Re: problems with rhythmbox after updating to

Sorry, you're right. Amarok does work. My excuse is that I usually play
CDs with rhythmbox and didn't know how to use Amarok properly.
However, I have used Totem and KsCD for this purpose before and they
won't play CDs now...

Yes, and it happens in 64-bit systems, too. This does not apply to

OK, let's be precise here. I did *not* reinstall grub from the DVD but
ran /sbin/grub-install script on my hard disk already. I used the DVD
"Rescue" option only to get to the "sh-3.2#" prompt.
Here's exactly what I did:

1) *Upgraded* my existing F8 using F9 DVD. After the _upgrade_
installation was over I rebooted and had a working F9 - of sorts. (My
printer didnt work, I couldn't mount my NTFS partitions, totem-xine
wouldn't show my movies, etc. - but that's another story.)
2) F9 PackageKit informed me that 199 packages needed updating and 15
packages needed installing, and I okayed that. Update was not successful
however, because of long list of conflicts. I couldn't see all of them,
so I
3) Tried 'yum update' which of course failed likewise, but now I could
see that the conflicts were caused only by two packages left from F8:
gnome-panel-2.20.3-1.fc8.i386 and gnome-applets-2.20.1-1.fc8.i386 (mine
is an x86_64 box). I 'yum remove'd those two packages and after that
successfully updated 199 packages and installed 15.
4) Because one of the 15 installed packages was kernel 2.6.26.3-18, I
rebooted the box. That's when booting stopped at "GRUB".
5) Did some googling with another (Centos 5.1) box to find advice. Armed
with this info I booted the non-working box with F9 DVD and chose
"Rescue".
6) Went to /boot/grub/ and ran grub-install (from /sbin on my HD).
7) Tried booting the box but it again stopped at "GRUB".
8) Booted the box with F9 DVD and again went to /boot/grub directory.
9) Started "vi grub.conf" and replaced the UUIDs on two 'kernel' lines
with VolGroup00/LogVol00 (my Linux LVM).
10) Rebooted successfully to F9.

HTH, Antti

Sorry, looking back at my cryptic hand-written notes I realize I forgot
to mention that I ran 'grub-install' before editing grub.conf. On the
basis of time-stamps of the files in /boot/grub, almost all files were
rewritten but grub.conf was not. My notes don't record whether I tried
rebooting after running grub-install but IIRC I probably did. I seem to
recollect that I was still stuck at "GRUB".
Therefore I edited grub.conf and tried again. This time reboot worked
for me so I didn't delve into it further.
Whether the real remedy was running grub-install or editing grub.conf
*or both*, I don't know. The fact remains I'm typing this with 'fully'
operational F9 system.

Unfortunately I know next to nothing of RAIDed filesystems, but it would
seem logical to assume that if you're stuck with "GRUB" it is because
grub doesn't know where to go next.
Another thread today deals with /etc/fstab containing UUIDs instead of
filesystem partitions. It would be my guess that a working Fedora system
knows how to handle UUIDs but I doubt that GRUB knows how to do it. If
I'm wrong about this, I'll be happy to stand corrected.
See my other reply today in this thread for something to try...

Does the system loudspeaker also ring like a firebell? I just recovered
from the same situation - and your grub.conf confirms it is very likely
the same problem I had.
The latest kernel update  2.6.25.3-18.fc9 - or one of the 199 files
updated at the same time - rewrote grub.conf so that (in my case) the
line which should have read:

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.25.3-18.fc9.x86_64 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
rhgb quiet

actually read:

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.25.3-18.fc9.x86_64 ro
root=UUID=ab562fb5-0a9a-4458-9f30-61c8a23f774a rhgb quiet

Somehow my /dev/VolGroup... had been changed to UUID=...

The same error had been applied to the previous kernel (2.6.25-14.fc9)
so that neither would boot.

In short, boot the computer with F9 DVD, choose "Rescue previous
installation", press OK to go to CLI, type "chroot /mnt/sysimage", and
type "cd boot/grub".
"ls" will list, among others, grub.conf. Then type "vi grub.conf" and
edit the kernel lines to contain *your* /dev/filesystem instead of your
UUID. Then ":write" to save your new grub.conf and ":quit" to exit vi.
Once in CLI, type "exit" *twice* and remove the DVD while the system is
closing down. It will reboot automatically.
