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.

Ah. Come on. When someone/something stops you from shooting yourself, or being shot, what would your do? Me? I would remove the armor. Reload the pistol. Unlock the doors and leave the windows open.

You guys need to stop quoting this guy. Have any of you all ever had SELinux block a program that it is _not_ targeting, at least in recent times?

Hi saw settroubleshoot and it was a big 2 page thing. It listed just about all I did today on F8.
I then went to my F7-64 and got all the VLC files in and it works. I got no complaint from selinux which is full on in that system. I really can't tell what is going on with selinux but for sure it is not the same on all three systems on this computer.

Most likely you have a labeling problem on the system with it blocking.

There is no label problem and that I will address as time allows. I plan to re-label all three systems next week. They will all have system specific names. The problem I had was that I saw the panel that selinux put up and it said these listed files have not been allowed, but I checked and they are all there. I was not ready to field the panel that came up. I will turn selinux back on soon.
I have had zero problems with my F7-64 system which has selinux turned full on.
F8 has been all a good experience and it appears to be at least a fully updated F7 in performance. I was able to get the stuff working that I need in a home operating system. It reads all my USB things and it has VLC working like it must since I get a bunch movies from friends with Windows. So my Linux must be as good as Windows.
So in good time I expect to shift my daily computer work to F8.

---- vintage Karl...telling Daniel Walsh that he doesn't have a label problem.
For a moment, I thought Daniel was going to offer to help Karl.
