Yes, and no...
SELinux can still be involved in imposing restrictions on you, but NTFS
(and other filesystems, too) do not have any way of storing any SELinux
meta information that allows different access restrictions. So very
basic default permissions are being used, and are probably too
restrictive for your needs.
I was finally able to create my first VM on F43, but it is more
complicated than with VMware or VirtualBox. Specifically the first
running of virt-manager has to be done under sudo. This is so it
corrects permission issues. If you run virt-manager as a regular user
it complains about access and asks if you want to fix it, but if you
answer yes it fails with permission denied. So the issues seem more to
be about libvirt permissions than about SElinux issues since I didn't
get any SElinux alerts after creating my VM.
Now if I can only fix my Ubuntu system I'd be happier. Anyone know how
to fix the following?
error: insmod isn't allowed to execute in an extractor
I get about 9 total of these messages though not all the same.
This happens when I try to boot an alternate kernel from grub shell
after running
extract_entries_configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg
The problem I'm having where I need to do this is because I noticed
Ubuntu does not have SElinux installed. So I removed AppArmor and tried
to install SElinux. This hangs. Somehow during the process of trying
to install SElinux I no longer see the grub boot menu. Since I modified
the kernel command line to relabel the fs for SElinux I can no longer
edit the command line to remove the SElinux parameter so when the system
boots it starts to relabel and it hangs.
Since this is a grub issue and not a Ubuntu issue I'm hoping someone
here can give me suggestions on how to fix it.
