I think this is actually a problem within userhelper which attempts to change the context but fails for some reason. The component should probably be changed. *** Bug 119413 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 119493 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I can verify this and add my own circumstances. Just isntalled core2 test2. Workstation install. SELinux set to warning. three partitions: / /usr /home Added user during install. After first install reboot and post-install process I logged in as user i created during install. I mucked around a bit with epiphany. I tried to load up the RHN taskbar icon... it don't think it popped up. I selected 'shutdown' and waited a minute or two while nothing seemed to be happenning. I walked away and returned to a bare desktop (no icons, no taskbar, yes background image) with a tiny error dialog stating "Unknown User". Clicked 'OK' and returned to graphical logon. Same thing happens to me. Everytime I choose reboot from the gnome exit menu this "unknown user" box appears. Reboot fails and I am put back to the gdm login screen. Reboot from there works. 1- I have experienced this problem when executed as a non-root user in GNOME. (KDE only presents a logout option to the user) 2- Hitting the close button returns to the login screen. 3- When logged in as root, the system shutsdown / reboots as expected. 4- This happens in enforcing mode and in permissive mode. 5- Tried to execute "init 6" from a terminal window and the response was "must be superuser" which seems appropriate. 5- All updates are in place as of April 12 *** Bug 120543 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Same here as of April 27, Rawhide (the same as test3?) I see this in FC2 after upgrade from FC1 I was still getting this problem with the latest upgrades as of this week. While cleaning-up various errors found in my boot log, I came across the following fix for a separate problem. It has resolved the problem of getting an "Unknown User" message when logging off as a non root user. As well, the system now shuts down correclty, instead of sending me to the loggin window. this is what I added: Created the missing file: /etc/sysconfig/selinux and added the value of 'SELINUX=disabled' (without the quotes). Hope this helps. Fixed a least since usermode-1.74 (present in FC3) and later. |
