I came across the following method of how to permanently disabling selinux and it's notifications. Although changing enforcement from the gui into permissive mode does most of the job, the notifications still pop-up when some applications are started.
So to disable it do the following:
open terminal as root and execute:

And then change the SELINUX line to SELINUX=disabled
Quote:
This is it. Now reboot the system and selinux will never bother you again.
If you are not a Fedora user and you are using this forum just because we are cooler here then you will not find the /etc/selinux/config as in the fedora releases. What you need to do is to edit the kernel boot line and add selinux=0 at the end:
I plan to install vmware but I had some problems...So I looked over the internet and I found that I must disable selinux....is this true? It means that I must have to disable the selinux for ever? And then, will my System be safe?
What's the best way to permanently disable the package kit update applet in fedora 12. i really dislike my bandwidth being robbed unnecessarily from the other computers running fedora on the network.
System->Preferences->System->Software Updates is not working as it is supposed to.
What is the role of PackageKit? Do i really need it?
So I just installed Ubuntu on my second laptop, however I ran into a problem. The F9 key is going crazy. I'm not exactly sure what is causing it (I've already popped off and cleaned the keys) but if I could find a way to just disable it I'd be very happy.
You can find a list of all the booleans for SELinux (Fedora 10) using getsebool -a My question is, is there a reference online that describes each one. Most of obvious but it's one of those "I have to know because it's there situation).
I have upgraded to ubuntu 10.4 i have some issues with it, first how to disable service permanently using GUI, second how can i change root passwd i tried sudo passwd root does not work, third i have network shared driver i want to mount permanently and create short cut to desktop.
I am using Ubuntu 10.04 on Lenovo Thinkpad, and I have tree pointing devices: - touchpad - trackpoint - mouse, that is connected only when I am home, so for around 50% of time.
I have downloaded a package "Pointing Devices" and tried to disable a touchpad, which annoys me. Sometimes new settings works, but each time I connect/disconnect mouse, the default settings (everything on) restores. It's even worse, because right now the touchpad works and annoys me, while it's written that it's disabled in "Pointing devices", so either the package is outdated, or it's a BUG.
I've tried all three options here to permanently disable the fn key (so that when I press F1 it'll bring up help and when I press fn+F1, it'll dim the screen, etc.).
These methods work upon reboot, but once the computer is put to sleep (i.e. I close my lid), the settings are reverted back to default and I must use fn+ for everything again.
How can I keep the fn key disabled?
And on another note, why use gksudo instead of just sudo?
Now i want to disable my ssh server "permanently",which means it won't run unless i start it after i login.that is,it is disabled at boot time by default. i have asked a similar question before,but i still have some confusions. Say that now the ssh server is running.my system is ubuntu 10.04. code...
The disable|enable API is not stable and might change in the future. the shell gives me a warning:do not match LSB Default-Start values,this API is not stable and ... what does this mean? still it can't disable the server "permanently",ethier. what on earth should i do to solve this?
I am using Fedora. I want to disable Linux iptables permanently. Normally when I reboot my pc the iptable service is on. how can I disable even I turn reboot the pc.
So from a web server stand point if we start using swap for httpd or mysql its bad and performance goes down the drain. So would it be a good or bad idea to disable swap entirely?
I have problems with a high pitch noise on my lenovo thinkpad t61. Seems that more people have the problem: [URL]... When I stick in my usb mouse, problem is gone.

I don't use wireless on my desktop so i would like it permanently disabled...each time i boot up it's back and receving up to 80mb of data from an unknown connection via wireless (i dont use wireless) so, to avoid any weird connections to my neighboors house or some kid hacking the neighborhood driving by with a wireless router in his truck i'd like to permanently turn off wireless. this is kind of funny because i had a hard time getting wireless to work on my laptop, but this is my desktop where i do not want it. i looked it up and your forum back in 2007 said to type in iwconfig in the shell then get the nickname of the wireless card then to black list the wireless card. i did this but it didn't work, so what do i do now? i have ubuntu 9.10
In the desktop effects configuration screen, "Enable desktop effects" is checked, however the checkbox is grayed out and I can't uncheck it. All I can do is "Suspend desktop effects", but they get reenabled after every login. How do I disable them permanently?

How to permanently disable the gnome-keyring-daemon.
I've seen posts where there was a work around to store passwords in clear text. That's not a real solution. I've seen posts where killing the process and removing ~/.gnome2/keyrings is a temporary solution until next time you log in or reboot machine. Removing the package, will force removal of the whole kitchen sink. That's too intrusive.
There must be a way to stop this thing from starting up, ever.
I tried commenting out the entries in the /etc/pam.d/* files that refer to "pam_gnome_keyring.so", and have also unchecked the 3 keyring related entries under System --> Preferences --> Startup Applications, which are affiliated with these 3 files:
But I still get this one process once I log into the console window:
There must be one more file somewhere that says, "hey when someone logs in and starts up gdm, start the gnome keyring daemon".
I have compiled the proprietary nvidia drivers for 11.3. When I boot, even using the nomodeset boot option, the nouveau module still loads, causing gdm/X to fail. I am able to manually remove the modules with rmmod and restart gdm. Everything then works normally. I have added the line "blacklist nouveau" to both 50-blacklist.conf and 99-local.conf in /etc/modprobe.d
I am learning SELinux from LinuxCBT and I'm stuck at one place. Now video is on RHEL 4 (so tell me if things has changed since, cause I can't find anything related) shows how to disable SELinux security on httpd.first I don't know diff between initrc_t and uncofined_t; and second I don't know if something is wrong is everything is all right.
I'm running into some problems setting up Tor on Fedora 14. I have followed the following guide to a T (although I realize it is for Fedora 10):orum.org/showthread.php?t=211516.I believe the problem is SELinux... but I'm not sure. Has anyone had any success running Tor in Fedora 14 without it bugging out? If not, is there some sort of Unix alternative?
There are several options available, such as "Ignore Alert" and "Turn off memory protection". What are the consequences of choosing one or the other?I'm new to Fedora and I'm not familiar with SELinux. Can someone please give me guidelines (or explanation) on how to deal with SELinux alerts?
After my cloning problems this morning were resolved, I have been able to complete conversion of the clone to run from an encrypted root partition. However, I have been unable to enable selinux when running from the encrypted root. /etc/selinux/config contains the settings that work on my unencrypted system
SELINUX=enforcing SELINUXTYPE=targeted
and it is not disabled from the grub bootline, but the encrypted system always comes up with selinux disabled. Attempting to enable it with the command setenforce 1 fails, and to add insult to injury, the selinux administration-gui shows that it is enabled and enforcing. The cloned, now encrypted, system was cloned via rsync -aHXv, so the selinux contexts/attributes have been maintained as near as I can tell. I did have to disable selinux while performing the rsync of the /selinux directory in order to get it to copy and I am wondering if there was still some issue with this method.
I know some of you are running from encrypted root fs's and was wondering: Do you have selinux enabled and is it functioning properly? Any suggestions as to how I might jumpstart it or force it to run? Maybe I should boot into the system and uninstalling/reinstalling selinux?
I just upgraded to fedora 12 via clean install with old /home partition and deleting old config files, and here is my issue. I need to edit the menu, and I need to set SELinux to permissive. OOo will not run with SELinux enabled for some reason, and besides, all my systems use SELinux in permissive. These two options no longer exist in the menu
I have various repos in my yum.repos.d including rawhide, google, and various others which I can enable on specific yum commands with --enablerepo=reponame.
Question is, how come these aren't enabled by default? When I do a yum repolist they don't show up, which effectively leaves orphan programs.
I can see why you might not want rawhide enabled by default for obvious update reasons, but I might want others to be enabled by default, like google for one.
So how is the default repo anabling/disabling controlled?
the "Japanese character set input library" keeps showing up on the list of updates. I have no need for japanese character input and have cleaned extraneous languages off the system with bleachbit. how can i make it so this update does not appear anymore?
