Daemon-tools alternative for linux

[joost]

Hi people.

I've been looking for a good alternative for daemon tools for linux for a while now.

I'd like a system tray icon, from where i could handle my mounts. Anyone got any suggestions for that?

thx in advance!

You are not alone!
AcetoneISO is very close to Daemon Tools though:

It can't sit in tray though...

Hi guys

After reading your posts the other day I thought I would have a look. I found two programs called CDemu and KCDemu which does the same as dameontools for Windows. However, they were written so long ago that, even though CDemu is in portage, neither of them work.

So I downloaded the source code and after re-writing parts of KCDemu I have finally got them to work in linux. I have all the code neatly packaged in a tar.gz and have written an installer to get it all working.

If you're still interested, let me know and I'll give you a link to download it.

All the best

Dave

Let me see... maybe we can try to cook an ebuild for that...

Hi

Does that mean you want it??
There's no point in making an ebuild unless you've got some where to host the file perminantly.

In the tar.gz file I have written an ./install script so you don't actually have to do anything. It even copies and installs a modified version of cdemu-0.8 I obtained and included with the rest of the stuff.

Let me know if you want the file and I'll host it on one of those download sites or I could just email it to you.

Cheers

Dave

p.s. I tried to get hold of the developer of the original KCDemu earlier but I couldn't get is email address. I was going to try to get him to include the changes I made. Oh well.

http://cdemu.sourceforge.net/
cdemu a kernel-module which needs to be loaded.

Code: Select all

#emerge sabayon-sources
#emerge cdemu
**** here i'm stuck modprobe didn't work ****


http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/Cd ... tent=52289

Here is a gui for it. If this all works, it should be packed into sabayon for sure.

Hi

I told you that neither CDemu or KCDemu worked that's why I've been re-doing them.
You can download my fixed version from here. http://www.savefile.com/files/745243

Changes:
1) CDemu now works when you type "modprobe CDEmu"
2) KCDemu will open iso, cue, bin, mds, ccd and nrg. Before it would only open bin and cue files.
3) KCDemu now mounts the new CDemu image where as before you had to do it manually.

Important: Wants you have download the file you have to change it's name slightly as the hosting server changed it.
It's very subtle but change KCDemu_0.4.0_modified_tar.gz to KCDemu_0.4.0_modified.tar.gz (Note the underscore where a dot should be)

Once you've unpacked KCDemu_0.4.0_modified.tar.gz go into the directory and run ./install as root. (make sure it is root else it will bugger up )
There is a README file that basically tells you what the ./install script is doing just incase it gets stuck.

Good luck

Dave

p.s. If you've already emerge CDemu then un-merge it ("emerge -C cdemu")

Hi

Please note that the changes that I made were for my benefit only and I can't be held responsible if it doesn't work on your computer. However, I will help as much as I can. I have tried to get hold of the original designer of KCDemu but as of yet haven't been successful as I can't find his email address.

All the best

Dave

Dave, thanks allot so far!

Hi

I take it you are not using the ./install script then that would have taken care of this issue?

Ok, before you type make you've got to type these two commands:
1) PATH=/usr/qt/3/bin:$PATH; QTDIR=/usr/qt/3/; QMAKESPEC="/usr/qt/3/mkspecs/linux-g++"
2) export KDEDIR=/usr/kde/3.5

Then type make

Cheers
