Thank you for this blogpost. It helped me a lot during the setup og my own DNS at home.

I wrote a series of blogposts to document what I did and to help others in the same situation. Also, I added a link back to your post at the end of the series.

Actually, my Mac Address book is not syncing with Google Contacts at all. Even following all this. It is syncing with Yahoo Contacts but since I have a G1 that doesn't do me any good. I need to sinc with Google Contacts!

Plus... it's doubled up all my contacts in my Mac Address book. Hrm...

It's working for me although I don't like to have to sync to Yahoo at the same time... what takes precedence, yahoo or google contacts? I tried what David suggested, to try to not require the Yahoo sync portion, but it hasn't worked. I'm on Leopard.

I'm a brand new Mac user too, only had my MacBook for a month. I love it! Never going back to winblows!

Re: Energy Crisis! What Energy Crisis?

Energy is needed to manufacture the parts. Energy is needed to ship those parts. Energy is needed to assemble them into the power plant. It all takes energy. If you think that legislating away the ability to drill or dig known and working energy sources to force new sources is going to work, then you have a big absence of common sense and reality. Nobody is going to pay to build these outlandish new and un-tested ideas if they can't afford it.

It does quite a bit, and even looks and performs great. It's nowhere near the eye-candy and integration of Coda, but to me it's the free alternative. ClubPenguinCheats

Re: Configure a Netatalk File Server in Linux Based on Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) [Ubuntu Guide]

stromsky — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 17:07:41 -0000

Experienced some similarily issue.
Worked beforehand with netatalk, when i read these fine pages.
Put a new netatalk (like shown in the how-to) and got it working.

But was thrown back, when tried to connect.

Deleting the .AppleDB/ directory in my home directory at the Ubuntu-Box
did the job.

Greetings,
Stefan

stromsky — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 17:01:14 -0000

Great work, Thanks a lot !
worked here with Ubuntu 9.0.4 and Mac OS X 10.6.1

Have been working with netatalk before to get a connection from the Ubuntu-box to my old PowerPC running OS 8.6.

Therefore some old .AppleDB directories were laying around here (in my home directory)
When i tried your first tutorial concerning a connection from the Mac-Box to the Ubuntu-box,
i could not get into it, when trying "Connect as: ... from the finder"
Was always thrown back, coz i was using a wrong password or
else something was not working with my server (so the text in the box after trying to
connect within the Finder)

These are some of the console msgs (on the Mac):

20.09.09 21:16:09 kernel ASP_TCP CancelOneRequest: cancelling slot 7 error 89 reqID 8 flags 0x9 afpCmd 0x14 so 0x9617330

not very useful, eh ? At least to me and the majority of the pages watched typically by google.

but, on the Linux-Box there were in the daemon.log some useful information:

Sep 20 21:16:49 ubuntu afpd[9309]: login xxxx (uid xxxxx, gid xxxx) AFP3.1
Sep 20 21:16:49 ubuntu afpd[9309]: Setting uid/gid to xxxx/xxxx

Sep 20 21:16:49 ubuntu afpd[9309]: logout xxxxxxx

Deleting the directory .AppleDB/
and restarting netatalk service (sudo /etc/init.d/netatalk restart)
did it.

Thanks again for your grateful sharing of your excellent knowledge !

Best greetings,
Stefan

Thats a big deal. All those games for such a low price. They should start some heavy advertisement on this promotion.

Hi!
I just upgraded to Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6), with all its SW updates. Somehow the sync between Google contacts and Mac Address Book works fine fioe from the beginning; but now the sync of my iCal and Contacts via iTunes with my iPod (not iPod Touch) does not work anymore. Your "trick" you described above with the plist does not work anymore. It used to work pre-Snow Leopard.

Any hints? Thanks

Re: Configure a Netatalk File Server in Linux Based on Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) [Ubuntu Guide]

dreamspy — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 14:59:51 -0000

Could be something wrong with the .AppleD* directories in the directory you are trying to mount. Try removing them from the directory and try to mount. Backing them up might be wice, but don't really think you need to do that. Netatalk creates these directories for you automatically. Hope this helps

In reply to:
Thanks for this great guide. It worked fine under 8.10 but I recently upgraded to 9.04 and the following happens when I try to access the share from OS X:

dreamspy — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 14:57:17 -0000

most likely you have to remove the .AppleD* directories in the directory you are trying to mount. Don't worry though, netatalk should recreate them as soon as you try to connect to the share. You can also backup those directories to be safe. I had the same problem, and this helped me.

Energy consumption should be reduced. This is important for the development of the country.
