This week in rawhide, the mid march edition...
Time for another exciting edition of this week in rawhide... Last week saw a new systemd version landing in rawhide and with it a few changes to the way systemd-logind worked. This was fine (progress, ever marching along forward), but selinux policy needed to be adjusted for this new setup as well. This caused folks with selinux enforcing (which should be nearly everyone these days) to not be able to login, or be able to login, but logind didn't 'see' you as logged in, leading to odd issues with sound permissions, needing root password to reboot, etc. This is an important lesson in troubleshooting. When you run into issues like the above, one very good thing to look at is if setting your install to permissive selinux mode causes things to work again. You can then file a good selinux-policy bug and get a fix, then re-enable enforcing. Otherwise things have been rolling along pretty smoothly. The intel wireless in my laptop has been kind of flaky for a bit, but the new linux-firmware that came out the other day seems to have helped it some. (It's a 7260AC). Keep on rolling along...
