Dear all, Since I don't know where else to put this problem I ran into and I cannot specify it clearly enough to file a bug report, I'm sending it to this mail group.
I've been testing Hardy since early alpha 6. I also tried installing SELinux according to the specifications of the Ubuntu SELinux wiki (run sudo apt-get install selinux) and it worked flawlessly for me at the time. Today I tried it again on a current up to date beta of hardy. I call it a clean install since I haven't manually changed anything and have only installed packages with apt that I normally do by default through a script, to not have to do everything manually. This time however, after rebooting and having the labeling finish, I was welcomed with a message telling me HAL failed to initialize. On top of that, while it was first loading, the whole gnome menu disappeared and left me with nothing but an empty desktop. Immagine Alt+F2 didn't work either. I managed to work around this and get a terminal going, tried to restart HAL, but got permission errors from SELinux telling me that this user was not allowed to...., etc. Needless to say, lots of things were not working (at some point even my ethernet adapter was blocked) and in the end, I removed SELinux in order to be able to use my system. Hence I don't have all the detailed info one could wish for in order to file a bug report. Due to lack of time and wanting to be sure things would run properly I went ahead and did a reinstall. As a result of this I'm under the impression that the policies that came with alpha 6, which worked fine for me, must have been changed one way or another and now don't work for me anymore. Is this something that can be confirmed by the ones that are working on the implementation of SELinux? Together with that, when can we expect configuration tools for SELinux like the ones one finds in Fedora? It really is very user unfriendly and complex to work with SELinux and try to configure it with the tools, let alone without those. Thanks in advance for your time and attention.
