The point is that the suggestion to disable selinux out of hand, without any supporting evidence is poor advice. It would be on par that the first suggestion when a "slow network" is reported that the firewall be disabled. > As it turned out, the OP's update/F12 problem was related to his own settings and not selinux, but initially insufficient info was given to discern that. However, my F12 update problem was. And it wasn't the first time. To date, I don't know if it's fixed. Perhaps on my next update, I'll "enable" selinux and see what happens. > > You've just indicated the key to the point being made. "Insufficient info was given...." Anyone suggesting that selinux be turn off, or a firewall be turned off, (or any advice) should first ask for the logs that would provide supporting info or some logical reason to perform an action.
