How do I figure out on what file dac_override is attempted?

Thanks for that tip (all of you who gave it)!  I now know it is
/dev/fb that plymouthd can't access.  The audit record also told me it
was owned by a regular user and mode rw-------.  So now it makes
sense.  A root process would need dac_override to open that file.
