I see....

So, if you did disable selinux in Fedora then what I thought was your problem probably isn't.

If you're not using selinux, then there is no reason to "recover".  That being said, since you are dual booting and if Debian isn't selinux aware then it will mess things up again as you switch back and forth.

Such is the peril of using the same home between different distros doing things in different ways.

So, not a selinux issue after all...

But it isn't "forbidden".  You just have to configure manually.
