Description Akarshan Biswas 2018-11-05 13:30:34 UTC 
Description of problem:
Abrt applet is not lauching throwing some permission error.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.11.0.1.fc29

How reproducible:
Everytime.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot Fedora as normal
2. Do a test using sleep command and issuing a SIGSEGV
3.

Actual results:
Abrt doesn't show notifications and doesn't intercept the crash. Infact abrt-applet is not running at all.

Expected results:
It should throw a notification as normal.

Additional info:
journalctl -xb | grep abrt-applet shows this error:
dbus-daemon[689]: [system] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.problems' requested by ':1.422' (uid=1000 pid=2090 comm="abrt-applet " label="unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023") (using servicehelper)
abrt-applet.desktop[2090]: abrt-applet: Can't connect to system DBus: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.problems: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed: Failed to execute program org.freedesktop.problems: Permission denied

Tested and confirmed on two systems.

To be tested:
Booting the computer with setenforce 0 to see if selinux is blocking abrt-applet or not. Will add a comment if I find anything.

Thank you for your report!

The problem is caused by a bug in dbus.
