Re: SELinux log

[Laura Lazzati]

Hi!

Hope to shed some light.

I followed all the steps that I hadn't followed before in the
documentation manual about SELinux for guix daemon (ran semodule,
restorecon for all the filesystem and restarted the daemon).
I forgot to set SELinux in permissive mode, so I still got the issue
with the socket.
Then I realized about this, and changed the mode. My log shows that
SELinux would have prevented the daemon from running, like when I had
it in enforcing mode:
