Fedora 32 : Upgrade from Fedora 31 to the new Fedora 32.

Today I managed to upgrade to Fedora 32.
After some time I started the system and used the tutorial from here.
I also used the following Linux commands:

#sudo dnf distro-sync --allowerasing
#dnf reinstall xorg-\* mesa\* libglvnd\*

In the following image, you can see the new upgrade works very well with my Cinnamon desktop environment.

Fedora 31 : Install Unity 3D on Fedora Linux.

If you want to install the Unity 3D software on Fedora 31 Linux distro then you can read my tutorial from this webpage.

Fedora 31 : Can be better? part 006.

I try to use the Selinux MLS with Fedora 31 and I wrote on my last article about Fedora 31 : Can be better? part 005.
After relabeling the files and start the environment I get multiple errors and I ask an answer at fedoraproject lists:
This is an example of the problem of implementing MLS in Fedora and can be remedied because MLS Selinux is old in implementing Selinux.

SELinux is preventing su from open access on the file /var/log/lastlog.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that su should be allowed open access on the lastlog file by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# ausearch -c 'su' --raw | audit2allow -M my-su
# semodule -X 300 -i my-su.pp 

I try to fix it but I got this error:

[root@desk mythcat]# ausearch -c 'su' --raw | audit2allow -M my-su
