Comment on The mystery of the blue light by Geert-Jan Smulders

funny :)
Good service is hard to find these days.

I’ve also got a D-Link. Never actualy a problem with it. Except that for once in an hour I couldn’t connect for about 10 seconds.
But today we got a Apple Airoprt with TimeMachine in my office. I mentioned to my boss that it would be in my advantage to have a TimeMachine in my home…

So he ordered one :)

You can set permissions by adding an option to your AppleVolumes.default shares. Here’s one I use:

/home/share/files “Share” allow:@share options:usedots,upriv volcharset:UTF8-MAC perm:0020

Make sure special permissions are set for the directories in your share:

sudo find /home/share/files -type d -exec chmod g+s {} \;

I originally download the source and ran
./configure
make
make install
thinking it would work, but it installed to the wrong location. Just before I tried what you’d suggested, I thought I’d try running the one I just installed from source.

/etc/init.d/netatalk stop
mv /usr/sbin/afpd /usr/sbin/afpd_2.0.4b
ln -s /usr/local/sbin/afpd /usr/sbin/afpd
mv /usr/local/etc/netatalk/AppleVolumes.default /usr/local/etc/netatalk/AppleVolumes.default_2.0.5
ln -s /etc/netatalk/AppleVolumes.default /usr/local/etc/netatalk/AppleVolumes.default
/etc/init.d/netatalk start

I got a starting up 2.0.5 message in my syslog, and it seems to be working OK. Not the most sensible way of installing, I’m sure, but I don’t think this way interferes with the Ubuntu packaged version, so when that is updated, I should be able to install it over the top.

I had TimeMachine working fine on 2.0.4b (wired), so I don’t know what this version was supposed to add?

To give an detailed description I should have written all steps down as a performed them, but I basically: * Removed the installed version of netatalk sudo apt-get remove netatalk * Downloaded the 2.0.5 package from the debian website. * Installed that package sudo dpkg -i netatalk_2.0.5-2-i386.deb * Downloaded some package netatalk depends on from the debian website (dpkg exited mentioning the exact name) and installed it. * Installed netatalk, now successfully because all dependencies were met. I considered writing a more detailed howto for this, but since it doesn't solve the reliability of backing up wirelessly it seemed somewhat unnecessary.

Please can you provide details of how to install version 2.0.5?

Thanks.

@alex: I haven’t used the scripts since my upgrade to Snow Leopard, aparentely I don’t need GeekTool that much. Anyway, I noticed some strange behavior too and found out that since SL the order of the output of ioreg has changed. I’ve updated the script to detect SL and reorder if needed. It should work now.

thanks for the scripts.
having trouble making the battery one work. it displays something like 283% when the battery is fully charged and the charger is connected. the value changes if the charger is disconnected and seems to be reflecting the actual changes. and yet, nothing but ‘283%’ (or whatever the current value is) on the display

I’m using your iTunes applescript with geektool 3 and it work great when I tunes is running and when current track has artwork. But it won’t change the artwork when iTunes quits and/or when the track has no artwork. Any suggestions?

MBPro 15″
OSX 10.6.1
GeekTool 3.0 RC5 (116)

@erno That doesn’t make sense to me. I have little C skills but quite some programming skills so I could just misguess C syntax here… Anyway, cool that everything is up and running!
