Hello,
</p>

<p>
A bunch of the "Thread continues ..." links aren't working in issue #178.
</p>

<p>
Examples:
</p>

<p>
<a href='../178/misc/lg/load_average_vs_cpus.html'>http://linuxgazette.net/178/misc/lg/load_average_vs_cpus.html</a>
<a href='../178/misc/lg/2_cent_tip___counting_your_mail.html'>http://linuxgazette.net/178/misc/lg/2_cent_tip___counting_your_mail.html</a>
</p>

<p>
etc.
</p>

<p>
Also, it seems my name no longer appears in the list of mailbag
contributors, and hasn't done for a while now.  Not for many issues.  I
don't -think- I've changed my name, although at the weekends... <img src="../gx/smile.png" alt=":)">

Not sure if it is normal to send a talkback to my own article, but here it
is:
</p>

<p>
I have gotten a couple of comments/notes since my article "Common problems
when trying to install Windows on KVM with vir-manager" came out related to
tip #2 (turning off selinux). Yes, I understand it's recommended that
selinux stay turned on in 'enforcing' mode in Fedora. Yet, if I do this, I
get the following error when trying to startup the virtual machine using a
SDL virtual display.
</p>

<p>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 878, in
run_domain
    vm.startup()
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 1321, in
startup
    self._backend.create()
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 333, in create
    if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed', dom=self)
libvirtError: operation failed: failed to retrieve chardev info in qemu with
'info chardev'
</p>

<p>
As a 'somewhat reasonably' <img src="../gx/smile.png" alt=":-)"> responsible member of the Fedora community, I
have filed a bug on Red Hat's bugzilla about it (
<a href='https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=635328'>https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=635328</a>). Until that is resolved,
or someone else is able to show me another way to get sound working on such
a VM, I stand by my tip to turn off selinux.
</p>

<p>
Thanks,
</p>
