set SELinux to permissive

Hello! I had the same problem on Lenovo T470s and Fedora 34. This is caused by SELinux. SELinux prevent the services from creating the necessary files.

The above mentioned comment solved the issue, because the files created manually. To bypass the problem, put SELinux into permissive mode until restart: sudo setenforce Permissive

... and restart the service: sudo systemctl restart python3-validity

$ sudo authselect enable-feature with-fingerprint
