    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.
