cdemu and vhba module problems

Hiya

I have only just started using Arch and I find it really refreshing, like going back to the old days of early red hat lol.

Anyway my problem is I downloaded cdemu and when I try to run the daemon, it says it cannot find the vhba module, I do have it  installed, and checked that it is there. I have tried modprobing it with the same result. I have even compiled vbha from source as well, with still the same result.

here is what happens when I try to run the cdemud - ive included it with and without sudo.


/etc/rc.d/cdemud start
:: Loading vhba and loop modules                [BUSY]
FATAL: Module vhba not found.                  [FAIL]
:: Waiting for /dev/vhba_ctl                        [FAIL]
:: Starting cdemud                                     [FAIL]

$ sudo /etc/rc.d/cdemud start
Password:
:: Loading vhba and loop modules               [BUSY]
FATAL: Module vhba not found.                   [FAIL]
:: Waiting for /dev/vhba_ctl                        [FAIL]
:: Starting cdemud                                     [FAIL]



any help with this problem would be appreciated.

Regards Robbie

Re: cdemu and vhba module problems

Do you use custom kernel, or the one from testing ?

Re: cdemu and vhba module problems

Thanks for the reply Xabre

As far as I am aware I am using the latest stable kernel. Installed Arch then did an update but have not enabled the testing repository.


# uname -r
2.6.30-ARCH

Re: cdemu and vhba module problems

Does modprobe vhba as root give an error?

Re: cdemu and vhba module problems

pacman -Ql vhba-module | grep vhba.ko

This should give

vhba-module /lib/modules/2.6.30-ARCH/extra/vhba.ko

Then, as root, run

depmod -a
modinfo vhba
modprobe vhba

Note that the depmod -a should have been run from the packages install script already, but if the .ko file is installed in the right place and modprobe/info still doesn't find it, another depmod -a might be required.

Re: cdemu and vhba module problems

I got a similar problem.
When I try run modprobe vhba, I get this error:

WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/framebuffer_blacklist.pacsave, it will be ignored in a future release.

I'm using KDEmod, which provides it's own version of vhba, so I have two version (at least that's what shaman's showing)
And none of what helped vampires doesn't help me.

It's not an error, it's a warning. You haven't taken care of your *pacnew and *pacsave files. Apart from that, if that's the only message you get, then the module loaded ok. (check back with lsmod)

If you really have two versions of the module installed side by side, find out where they reside with pacman -Ql <packagename>. Look out for a file called vhba.ko. You may have to load the kdemod-specific module via insmod /path/to/vhba.ko to load the right one.

Re: cdemu and vhba module problems

Now it works! (without changing anything).
It does work directly from bash. Just the Dolphin option to mount image doesnt work.

Re: cdemu and vhba module problems

I have another question regarding vhba and cdemud. I've added vhba and loop to modules in rc.conf and cdemud to daemons. But I get "FAIL" while starting cdemud, but I'm not completely sure.
It might be vhba/ctl that fails.
So the question is there any log app similar to boot-chart that would record what happens during boot.
And secondly, how do I get cdemud started at start-up?

Re: cdemu and vhba module problems

Sorry to resurrect this old thread but have the exact same issue.

when installing:

pacman -S cdemu-daemon
modprobe: FATAL: Module vhba not found in directory /lib/modules/4.9.25-1-lts

cat /usr/lib/modules-load.d/cdemu.conf
vhba

pacman -Qi vhba-module

modinfo vhba
modinfo: ERROR: Module vhba not found.

uname -r

depmod -a didn't change anything

I did reboot and pacman -Suy is up to date.

Pretty sure I could symlink the ko file to the /lib/modules dir  but that doesn't seem the way to go smile
Any suggestions ?

Re: cdemu and vhba module problems

Try the AUR vhba-dkms pacakge.


Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
