I just loaded the kernel regression test software on a fully up to date bare metal F28 system using the same procedure I've always used. That is:
1) made sure gcc and git were installed and they were.
2) installed python-fedora and did a restart.
3) logged in as root and cloned the regression test software by: git clone https://pagure.io/kernel-tests.git
4) edited the config.example to have the log file submitted and added my FAS username, but not password. Then did "cp config.example .config". Then I did a "cat of .config" to make sure it turned out as I intended it to and it was as intended. I have attached a copy for reference.
5) Did a restart and then did: "cd kernel-tests" followed by: "sudo ./runtests.sh"
The tests ran as expected, but the log file was not submitted. There seem to have been some changes made to notify users of this software about their risk concerning recent changes for "meltdown etc.". I still have the prior version of kernel tests on my F27 machines and the behavior, based on how that works, should be to notify the user that the log file is being submitted and prompt for the FAS password.
Another strange thing happens with this version on F28. Whenever runtests.sh runs I get an SELinux Alert. I have attached the details of that alert.
Just a guess, but I think folks would want the log files submitted. Have I made a bad guess or done something wrong? How else if any way should this be reported.
Thanks and Have a Great Day!

Following up on a note I sent a week back of the same subject.
After a little fiddling around I installed python3-fedora and then the default tests would run and allow me to submit the log file.
However, now a few days later, the tests won't run. The regression test software is getting a permission denied error when it tries to access the log file. I set the logs folder to have create and delete permissions and it made no difference.
Have I missed something?
Have a Great Day!

Did you run it as root the first time and as user the second time, or something like that? Did you check the permissions on the *file itself* and not just the folder?
