This repository contains the kernel modules necessary to run the Anbox Android container runtime. They're split out of the original Anbox repository to make packaging in various Linux distributions easier.
You need to have dkms and linux-headers on your system. You can install them by
sudo apt install dkms or sudo yum install dkms (dkms is available in epel repo
for CentOS).
Package name for linux-headers varies on different distributions, e.g.
linux-headers-generic (Ubuntu), linux-headers-amd64 (Debian),
kernel-devel (CentOS, Fedora), kernel-default-devel (openSUSE).
You can either run ./INSTALL.sh script to automate the installation steps or follow them manually below:
-
First install the configuration files:
sudo cp waydroid.conf /etc/modules-load.d/ sudo cp 99-waydroid.rules /lib/udev/rules.d/ -
Then copy the module sources to
/usr/src/:sudo cp -rT binder /usr/src/anbox-binder-1 -
Finally use
dkmsto build and install:sudo dkms install anbox-binder/1
You can verify by loading these modules and checking the created devices:
sudo modprobe binder_linux
lsmod | grep -e binder_linux
ls -alh /dev/binder
You are expected to see output like:
binder_linux 114688 0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 511, 0 Jun 19 16:30 /dev/binder
ou can either run ./UNINSTALL.sh script to automate the installation steps or follow them manually below:
-
First use dkms to remove the modules:
sudo dkms remove anbox-binder/1 -
Then remove the module sources from /usr/src/:
sudo rm -rf /usr/src/anbox-binder-1 -
Finally remove the configuration files:
sudo rm -f /etc/modules-load.d/waydroid.conf sudo rm -f /lib/udev/rules.d/99-waydroid.rules
You must then restart your device. You can then verify modules were removed by trying to load the modules and checking the created devices:
sudo modprobe binder_linux
lsmod | grep -e binder_linux
ls -alh /dev/binder
You are expected to see output like:
modprobe: FATAL: Module binder_linux not found in directory /lib/modules/6.0.2-76060002-generic
ls: cannot access '/dev/binder': No such file or directory
