Description

CDEmu packages for Fedora.

Installation Instructions

Enable this COPR repository:

dnf copr enable rok/cdemu

Make sure kernel development package is installed

dnf install kernel-devel

Also, make sure that you have kernel-devel package installed for the current version of running kernel. If you just updated your system and that included kernel update, you might want to reboot the system so that the latest kernel (with its corresponding kernel-devel package) is in use. Otherwise, in some circumstances, the vhba module will not be built when the CDEmu packages are installed, but rather on the next reboot.

Install the daemon and clients:

dnf install cdemu-daemon
dnf install cdemu-client
dnf install gcdemu

Installing the daemon package should pull in all dependencies, such as libmirage and vhba packages.

Load the kernel module:

akmods
systemctl restart systemd-modules-load.service

The kernel module should be automatically reloaded on reboot.

If everything is set up correctly, the following command should auto-start the daemon and query its status:

cdemu status

which should return

Devices' status:
DEV   LOADED     FILENAME
0     0

NOTE: Missing gCDEmu tray icon

If gcdemu fails to display its tray icon and your desktop environment supports tray icons (natively or via an extension), you might want to check that you have libappindicator-gtk3 (or alternatively, libindicator) package installed. If neither AppIndicator library is available, the application falls back to the deprecated GtkStatusIcon, which is unsupported under many modern desktop environments (and does not work at all under Wayland).
