Fedora 29 x86_64, updated. I have the same problem. type=AVC msg=audit(1551435502.201:259): avc: denied { write } for pid=1800 comm="sddm-helper" path="/home/username/3V/.cache/xsession-errors" dev="dm-1" ino=202884691 scontext=system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=0 - in this case sddm-helper tries to create *V folder. The first symbol is always different. On example: �U PV 3V Looks like the weird name is somehow related to a) login name and b) locale. As far as I understand both me and Vladislav are using Cyrillic locales. No, that's not a locale issue. I'm using en_US.UTF-8. Occasionally, sddm_helper gets a corrupted passwd structure from getpwnam_r() in function UserSession::setupChildProcess() Why? I don't know. Regardless of username, locale, etc... Different CPUs? So, i guess, the reason ins line 233 in src/helper/UserSession.cpp: free(buffer) C code to demonstrate this behavior https://pastebin.com/fpWyg78c My output: before: /home/zend after: J sddm-0.18.0-4.fc29 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 29. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2019-96c964d319 sddm-0.18.0-4.fc29 has been pushed to the Fedora 29 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
