On F8 I left selinux set up as protection. Today I was d/l the

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.
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.
