Description thedatum+bz 2020-05-04 21:54:18 UTC 
Description of problem:
Occurs at boot after upgrading to Fedora 32.
SELinux is preventing nmcli from using the 'sys_nice' capabilities.

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

If you believe that nmcli should have the sys_nice capability 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 'nmcli' --raw | audit2allow -M my-nmcli
# semodule -X 300 -i my-nmcli.pp
