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.
Regards,
Ken
