Hi Guys, I recently switched to SELinux and I feel that it is complicated. Can anyone help to disable it?

Edit /etc/selinux/config:

Change "SELINUX=enforcing" to "SELINUX=disabled", and reboot

It is quiet natural that the SELinux can cause certain problems during the installation of certain software. To get rid of this problem, you can disable SElinux temporarily or permanently. However, it is not wise to disable SELinux permanently.
It is easy to disable SElinux from command line by setenforce command:
Code:
# setenforce 0
This will disable SElinux temporarily until your system will reboot or you enable SElinux with:
Code:
# setenforce 1
The commands above are same as disabling SElinux with:
Code:
# echo 0 > /selinux/enforce
Permanently disable SElinux
To permanently disable SElinux you need to edit SElinux's config file /etc/selinux/config and add/alter line disable it:
Code:
SELINUX=disabled


Hope this will solve your problem

Is there any simple command that will help to find the status of SELinux ?

Code: Select all

will give you the status of SELinux

Disable, Permissive or Enforcing

Is there any simple command that will help to find the status of SELinux ?
