I have the same problem, the module is installed, but can't be loaded:
emerge -s vhba

| @Linubie: did you remember to rebuild your modules after kernel upgrade ? |

thanks VoidMage after rebuilding, the module is now loading.
But when I start the KDE-CDemu manager it says it can't connect to the deamon, which is already running:
ps aux | grep cdemu
root 3705 0.1 0.0 142508 3348 ? Sl 14:46 0:00 cdemud --ctl-device=/dev/vhba_ctl --bus=system --num-devices=2 --audio-driver=null --logfile=/tmp/cdemu-daemon.log
root 3773 0.0 0.0 14068 888 pts/0 R+ 14:47 0:00 grep --colour=auto cdemu

Have the same problem. I also don't see any init script for cdemu-daemon. Do we have to make our own script or what? `cdemu-daemon-2.1.1`
| Code: | Daemon autostart failed. Error:
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name net.sf.cdemu.CDEmuDaemon was not provided by any .service files |

It's all about permissions. Look to http://cdemu.sourceforge.net/about/vhba/
| Quote: | VHBA module provides the control character device via which communication between userspace and kernelspace is done. This requires both read and write permissions on the character device for the user running the CDEmu daemon.
As such, depending on the configuration (i.e. if CDEmu daemon is to be run in session, non-root mode), it might be a good idea to include an udev rule to set up appripriate permissions. E.g.:
| Code: |
KERNEL=="vhba_ctl", NAME="%k", MODE="0660", OWNER="root", GROUP="cdrom" |
Putting the above line into .rules file in udev's rules dir (i.e. /etc/udev/rules.d/vhba.rules) will allow the access to control device for daemon run as either root or any member of cdrom group. |
Good luck! |

After update to 3.2.5 looks like there's no way for non-systemd users to autostart cdemu-daemon anymore. Thus who uses OpenRC need to start it manually.
Let's think together. We need to run bash command "cdemu-daemon" under appropriate user. As described in #815055, it doesn't have proper background run mode.
We can't use ~/.bash_profile (it hangs system on startup) or ~/.bashrc (hangs user terminal session). Maybe we can use /etc/local.d/* but, as I understand, it will start not from user session and will have no effect.
What's a variants are else? |

A .desktop file in ~/.config/autostart/ (KDE/Plasma) or starting it with sys-apps/daemonize work here. So does a shell wrapper that just punts it into the background and pipes it's output to a file for that matter.
I haven't checked to see what happens on a real multi-user system (i.e. cleaning up on logout and whatnot), but considering Slackware has a whole kitchen-sink (ebuild anyone?) devoted to this kind of malarkey I expect there's a reason.
IMO we're probably going to need some kind of generic solution to this going forward as more upstreams lean into systemd user units. The ongoing need to unfuck lazy "just use systemd" upstream projects is pretty annoying, but it is what it is.
Ed. Looks like pipewire is the poster-child for this stupidity, and the solutions are similar. Thankfully it's just yet another newfangled abstraction layer I don't need, want, or use.

Oh, thanks. It's enough for cdemu
| Code: | [Desktop Entry]
Comment=Autostart for cdemu-daemon
Exec=/usr/bin/cdemu-daemon

NoDisplay=true

Terminal=false
TerminalOptions=

Looks like working fine now.

You are right. And the daemonize, you mentioned, looks perspective in that way. |

Yes, I think that something like that is the best solution here. dbus-daemon is perfectly capable of spawning activatable services itself in the absence of systemd, and even performing light supervision. Upstream's shipping of a D-Bus .service file with Exec=/bin/true is sabotaging this mechanism  So for OpenRC users, or users of any other init system for that matter, it's patching time.
I would suggest this version of the patch (untested because I won't install cdemu-daemon) to do the equivalent of the unit file's use of the %h specifier:
/etc/portage/patches/app-cdr/cdemu-daemon/dbus-service.patch
| Code: | --- original/service-example/net.sf.cdemu.CDEmuDaemon.service 2021-12-18 08:18:52.000000000 -0300
+++ patched/service-example/net.sf.cdemu.CDEmuDaemon.service 2022-08-20 12:25:12.354535127 -0300
@@ -1,4 +1,4 @@
[D-BUS Service]
Name=net.sf.cdemu.CDEmuDaemon
SystemdService=cdemu-daemon.service
-Exec=/bin/true
+Exec=/usr/local/bin/activate-cdemu-daemon |
/usr/local/bin/activate-cdemu-daemon
| Code: | #!/bin/sh
exec cdemu-daemon --config-file "$HOME/.config/cdemu-daemon" |
The only purpose of the shell script here is expanding the HOME environment variable. Which sould be inherited by dbus-daemon from whatever mechanism is used to start the per-login session message bus.
