> 1) smb and nfs share won't start at boot (reported OK, but doesn't work).
> I have to manually restart the service to make them work.
> 2) My printer doesn't work since my last update (at least I think that's the
>
> cause as last week it worked well and I haven't changed a thing on the
> system
> besides an update).
> 3) nvidia driver goes funny when I switch terminal (crtl-alt-F1).
>
> Of the above problems I couldn't find any obvious reason why they would
> fail.
> I know little about SElinux and suspect it's the cause for wasting my time.
>
> I'd like to disable it and when I'm sure it works fine for me enabling it
