Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: upstart
When trying to install SElinux in Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty, I noticed that
upstart doesn't work with SElinux.
To reproduce this you must do the following:
- Activate selinux in kernel boot options in GRUB:
edit the file /boot/grub/menu.lst, and add "selinux=1" in the "# kopt="
line. Run "sudo update-grub" and reboot.
- Install the SElinux packages:
sudo apt-get install selinux-basics selinux-utils checkpolicy
policycoreutils selinux-policy-refpolicy-targeted
- Reboot to activate SElinux. After rebooting Ubuntu with upstart, when
you execute the command "sestatus" the output is:
SELinux status: disabled
If you install the package "sysvinit", the shutdown is not performed. It
ends with:
init: timeout opening/writing control channel /dev/initctl
I think thats another bug. It only happens the first time, just after
installing the "sysvinit" package. To conclude the reboot, you have to
either use Linux Magic Keys (Alt+SysRq) or press the reset button on the
computer box.
After rebooting with the package "sysvinit" installed, if you execute
the "sestatus" command with the package "sysvinit" installed, the output
is:
SELinux status: enabled
SELinuxfs mount: /selinux
Current mode: permissive
Mode from config file: permissive
Policy version: 21
Policy from config file: refpolicy-targeted
I have tried many many times, but apparently SElinux doesn't work
without the sysvinit package installed.
