Windows to Linux remote console using VNC brings up blank console screen with only mouse pointer
Hi
This was installed on the Linux box a few weeks back by a guy that no longer works for us. All worked fine until last week. Now when we connect its just a blank screen with no icons.
I get a whole bunch of errors when starting the service too:
Its difficult to explain what I am exactly looking for, so let me try with an example..
Suppose my program prints out thousands lines. But once my program ends.. I am not able to scroll up and see all the 1000 lines. The size of the screen buffer is obviously limited. Is there anyway I can... (5 Replies)

gconfd_selinux
gconfd_selinux(8) SELinux Policy gconfd gconfd_selinux(8)NAME
gconfd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the gconfd processes
DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the gconfd processes via flexible mandatory access control.
The gconfd processes execute with the gconfd_t SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
with the -Z qualifier.
For example:
ps -eZ | grep gconfd_t
ENTRYPOINTS
The gconfd_t SELinux type can be entered via the gconfd_exec_t file type.
The default entrypoint paths for the gconfd_t domain are the following:
PROCESS TYPES
SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the system
You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux gconfd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their gconfd
processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for gconfd:
gconfdefaultsm_t, gconfd_t
Note: semanage permissive -a gconfd_t can be used to make the process type gconfd_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated.
BOOLEANS
SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. gconfd policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you
to manipulate the policy and run gconfd with the tightest access possible.
If you want to deny any process from ptracing or debugging any other processes, you must turn on the deny_ptrace boolean. Enabled by
default.
setsebool -P deny_ptrace 1
If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors, you must turn on the domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
setsebool -P domain_fd_use 1
If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by
default.
setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
setsebool -P fips_mode 1
If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P global_ssp 1
MANAGED FILES
The SELinux process type gconfd_t can manage files labeled with the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
gconf_home_t
/root/.local.*
/root/.gconf(d)?(/.*)?
/home/[^/]*/.local.*
/home/[^/]*/.gconf(d)?(/.*)?
gconf_tmp_t
/tmp/gconfd-.*/.*
FILE CONTEXTS
SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file type.
You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files. SELinux gconfd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
gconfd processes in as secure a method as possible.
STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
SELinux defines the file context types for the gconfd, if you wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to exe-
cute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
semanage fcontext -a -t gconfd_exec_t '/srv/gconfd/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/mygconfd_content
Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files.
The following file types are defined for gconfd:
gconfd_exec_t
- Set files with the gconfd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the gconfd_t domain.
gconfdefaultsm_exec_t
- Set files with the gconfdefaultsm_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the gconfdefaultsm_t domain.
Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command. If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use
the semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling database. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
COMMANDS
semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context mappings.
semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a process type is permissive.
semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove policy modules.
semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux policy settings.
