Description Mikhail 2018-06-21 15:48:12 UTC
Description of problem:
SELinux is preventing upowerd from 'write' accesses on the directory /var/lib/upower.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that upowerd should be allowed write access on the upower directory by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# ausearch -c 'upowerd' --raw | audit2allow -M my-upowerd
# semodule -X 300 -i my-upowerd.pp

Same problem here, since 4.17.2-100.fc27.x86_64 kernel update.
The upower.service throws the following log:
