On F8 I left selinux set up as protection. Today I was d/l the many files needed to support the VLC viewer. I got a selinux message saying it was not allowing certain files to be installed. That is when I turned off selinux.
How can anyone be expected to use this software when it screws up everything your trying to do?
Install 'setroubleshoot', that makes it a breeze. If you find any real bugs in the default SElinux policies, be sure to file a bug report in bugzilla against "selinux-policy" so that it gets fixed in the next update. The SElinux folk are pretty responsive these days with updates.
