For anyone experiencing issues with the OSX Finder reporting "Connection failed" when connecting to an advertised Samba-service. I posted an article on what could be the cause. You can find it here, if you are interested:

Quick praise, followed by a question. This is my first real foray into Linux (Lucid), as I’ve been tasked with creating a small file server for my work. Between this tutorial and applying the Share function in Ubuntu (Nautilus), I’ve got this PowerPC G4 Lucid install showing up on OS X 10.5 clients. From someone who remembers a few DOS commands from 15 years ago, thank you Kerma.

Although I’ve run into a bit of a snag. While I’ve configured the volume to accept new files, I can’t save edits made to files directly on the server. For instance, if I open a .doc file in Word 2008, it opens as “Read Only.” If at all possible, I’d like to be able to edit files on the Lucid server without having to save a local copy and overwrite the previous one.

Is this possible? My thanks in advance!

Anybody have this solution working with Ubuntu 11.10, Lion 10.7.2, and Netatalk 2.2.1?

I can mount the AFP share as a volume, write files to it, and Time Machine allows me to select it as a backup volume. When a backup is attempted, I always get these errors:

com.apple.backupd: NAConnectToServerSync failed with error: 80 for url: afp://xxxxx@hostname/afp

com.apple.backupd: Backup failed with error: 19

I’ve tried numerous combinations of configurations for the afpd.conf and AppleVolumes.default and it’s always the same result. I compiled Netatalk 2.2.1 manually and here is the output of my configure command:

Using libraries: LIBS = -lpthread -L$(top_srcdir)/libatalk CFLAGS = -I$(top_srcdir)/include -D_U_="__attribute__((unused))" -g -O2 -I$(top_srcdir)/sys SSL: LIBS = -L/usr/lib64 -lcrypto CFLAGS = -I/usr/include/openssl LIBGCRYPT: LIBS = -L/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -lgcrypt CFLAGS = BDB: LIBS = -L/usr/lib64 -ldb-5.1 CFLAGS = Configure summary: Install style: debian AFP: Large file support (>2GB) for AFP3: yes Extended Attributes: ad | sys CNID: backends: dbd last tdb UAMS: DHX ( SHADOW) DHX2 ( SHADOW) RANDNUM ( SHADOW) passwd ( SHADOW) guest Options: DDP (AppleTalk) support: no SLP support: no Zeroconf support: yes tcp wrapper support: yes quota support: yes admin group support: yes valid shell check: yes cracklib support: no dropbox kludge: no force volume uid/gid: no ACL support: yes LDAP support: yes

What are the instructions to setup the TimeMachine directory for my home folder on a different hard disk. I am asking for help with the exact commands I need to type.

Has anyone succeded with mounting the server in Finder so that the user’s home folder show up immediately? When I login to the network server in Finder I find myself in the “/home” folder on the server, not in “/home/”. I have to click on the username to be able to see the network disk in Time Machine. This is not a problem when at home, but I’m trying to make it work at the job.

best regards

Isn’t this a setting that you enable in cups-config?
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Avahi#Cups

or do you want to generate service-files for avahi?

Has anyone successfully setup Avahi to advertise CUPS printers under this setup? I’m running Netatalk 2.2x and if I call avahi-discover I don’t see my printer. Help please.

Thanks for a great tutorial. All seems to work perfectly on Centos until i try to run a backup.

afpd spits this into syslog:
Nov 8 16:55:08 bp-host1 afpd[22894]: ASIP session:548(5) from 192.168.2.105:63014(7)

And the backup itself fails with:
Time Machine could not complete the backup
The backup disk is not available

I’m running OS X 10.6.8 + Centos 5.6

netatalk 2.2.1 and Lion solution

After compiling the above netatalk the backup didn’t work.
that version adds a “:DEFAULT: options:upriv,usedots” line. and uses that options instead of my share definition
To fix add a “,tm” also to that line

Anyone know how to get netatalk 2.2 to install on Ubuntu Hardy ?

By: Kupy

Kupy — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 17:09:31 +0000

Yes. I have it running on Lion 10.7.2 with an Ubuntu 10.04 backend. On Ubuntu I just did:
sudo apt-get remove netatalk
sudo apt-get install netatalk
This got me a default netatalk 2.2.x
I also installed (apt-get) some cryptolib (search the links above) which could have or not contributed to success.
On the mac side just enable network volumes and then mount the disk. There is no need to create the sparsebundle image. Lion does this automatically.
