Print Avc Error

Posted 08-01-2008 at 11:42 PM by keith82

Have installed lunix drivers but have faced the AVC denial. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this error??

below is the summary of the error?

Summary:

SELinux is preventing the python from using potentially mislabeled files
(/root/.hplip/hplip.conf).

Detailed Description:

[SELinux is in permissive mode, the operation would have been denied but was
permitted due to permissive mode.]

SELinux has denied python access to potentially mislabeled file(s)
(/root/.hplip/hplip.conf). This means that SELinux will not allow python to use
these files. It is common for users to edit files in their home directory or tmp
directories and then move (mv) them to system directories. The problem is that
the files end up with the wrong file context which confined applications are not
allowed to access.

Allowing Access:

If you want python to access this files, you need to relabel them using
restorecon -v '/root/.hplip/hplip.conf'. You might want to relabel the entire
directory using restorecon -R -v '/root/.hplip'.
