Is the /dev/vhba_ctl device present?
Does 'lsmod' show the vhba module loaded? Did you try modprobe on it?

You'll likely want to use a DKMS build to ensure it gets recompiled each
time you recompile/update the kernel.

Virtual CD/DVD burner for Fedora

2015-01-23 Thread jd1008

googled for a virtual cd/dvd burner but all I could find
was cdemu, which is not a burner but a rom.

Any info on a virtual cd/dvd burner would be greatly appreciated.

cdemu V3.0.x emulates a burner now, but I don't see what use a virtual
burner is unless you're writing your own burning software and want to
see how it handles fake hardware. The only real test is on real
hardware and as many different makes as you can get your grubby mitts
on!

If all you're trying to do is create an ISO image, just use brasero or
xfburn to create the image. Mount that .iso using a loopback and the
iso9660 filesystem to see if it's legit. Simple.

Yes that is right - only with data and video media can you generate the 
iso image.

Audio is a different beast.

The cdemu team recommends using alien to convert the DEB packages to

then tweaking the resulting post-install scripts as needed:
http://cdemu.sourceforge.net/project/

You could also just download the tarballs and follow the directions in 
the

INSTALL files provided.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cdemu/


I found the fc19 source files and built them on fc21
without a hitch, and installed them:

$ rpm -qa | egrep 'libmirage|cdemu-daemon|vhba|cdemu'
cdemu-client-2.1.0-3.1.fc21.noarch

When I run the daemon, it bombs as follows:
