setroubleshoot: unrecognized service

[jfr8595]

Upon reboot my F14 vm everything appeared "normal".

SELinux message flashes in upper right corner for a moment, I ignore it. Shortly thereafter I go to Applications > System Tools > SELinux troubleshooter, icon spins for normal amount of time, then nothing.

System > Administration > Services, icon spins for normal amount of time, then nothing.

OK, I start a terminal session, & su - it:

[root@bonk log]# sestatus
SELinux status: enabled
SELinuxfs mount: /selinux
Current mode: permissive
Mode from config file: permissive
Policy version: 24
Policy from config file: targeted

[root@bonk log]# service setroubleshoot status
setroubleshoot: unrecognized service
[root@bonk log]# service auditd status

ntsysv shows no setroubleshoot

Any ideas what I should do here?

Did file update to Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 628392

THANKS in advance!

why do you assume setroubleshoot should run as a service? afaict it doesn't ship as either a sysv or systemd service in the setroubleshoot package, so it seems like it isn't supposed to.

What happens if you go to a console and run 'sealert -b'?

(It seems to me like there's a dbus interaction issue with sealert, because when I try and run it it fails claiming dbus isn't running, which it clearly is).

Got me, I thought it ran as a service on my CentOS 5.5 systems but in answer to your F14 question:

[root@bonk log]# sealert -b
[root@bonk log]#

[root@bonk log]# sealert -bv
2010-09-01 01:32:54,086 [dbus.ERROR] could not start dbus: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed: /bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally with the following error: Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.

THANKS!

I decided to scratch this install and re-install. Things seem to be fine now.

In my opinion SELinux needs to be set to permissive for at least your first yum update. Subsequent SELinux policy is fixed I think but the one that comes on the non-updated alpha stops some things from being written properly during yum update and that causes a downstream mess...

[GoinEasy9]

I had to empty the /home/<Username>/.setroubleshoot file to get rid of an empty AVC alert after a fresh install of the alpha RC3. This is fixed in subsequent selinux-policy versions (or was just an empty alert caused by bugs in the early alpha). So, enabling SELinux after the first update does sound like a good idea, or, using a nightly built instead of the alpha.
