Re: Configuring Ubuntu to Store Time Machine Backups
Okay, thanks for the description of build-essentials.
I tried the code provided for dependencies and got what looks to me to be a very odd output - but I really am quite new to Linux, so what do I know?
- Code: Select all
jaxon@server:~$ sudo apt-get install libcupsys2 libdb4.6 libgnutls13 libkrb53
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'libcups2' instead of 'libcupsys2'
Package libkrb53 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
krb5-pkinit libkrb5support0 libkrb5-3 libk5crypto3 libgssapi-krb5-2
Package libgnutls13 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'libgnutls13' has no installation candidate
E: Package 'libkrb53' has no installation candidate

Hmm, perhaps they have updated their repositories since I last set this up from scratch. Hmm, well I have to go to class, but I will think about it and see if we can't figure out how to make this work. You may actually need build-essential to compile this software from source. Don't worry, that's not a big deal and I'll work you through it.

Re: Configuring Ubuntu to Store Time Machine Backups
Hey there,
So I just reinstalled Ubuntu - things were getting pretty messy and I wanted to start out with a clean slate.
Quick question: does using the custom version of netatalk hurt the upgradeability of this setup? Part B of that question is why don't these other, very similar tutorials need a custom version?

Also, any leads on the dependencies issue?
Thanks a lot for your time!

Wow! I hope I didn't inspire you to go through that trouble
This tutorial won't hurt the upgradability of the setup. I installed netatalk on my server two or three years ago now and have upgrade through like four versions since then.
As for the custom version... good question. I followed this tutorial: http://www.kremalicious.com/2008/06/ubu ... ne-volume/ (also where I got the download from). I would have just simply recommended the site, but there are a few things I changed and made work a little better (the kremalicious site didn't leave me a working setup at the end of the tutorial). The stated reason why a custom .deb of netatalk is needed is because the Ubuntu repositories don't have the version built with SSL, though I have no idea if this is true. If these guides have you doing the setup without the custom version of netatalk, by all means, give it a spin and see if it works. Installing the version from the Ubuntu repository should also fix the dependency issue. Give it a try and let me know:
- Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install netatalk
If you can get it working without the custom version of netatalk, I will remove that from the guide (and also change my server ).

Re: Configuring Ubuntu to Store Time Machine Backups
hey, nice tutorial. But I am using a 64 bit Ubuntu version, and the netatalk deb is 32 bit...

Does Ubuntu not allow the installation of 32-bit packages? (Weird, Windows x64 and OS X do...)
Anyway, you'll need to follow the 'Modify and Install Netatalk' instructions from here: http://www.kremalicious.com/2008/06/ubu ... ne-volume/ . This is the article I based my tutorial from, but mine has a few additions (especially from the OS X side) so be sure to go back to using my guide when you are finished (the kremalicious guide doesn't leave you with a working system).
Let me know if you have anymore problems.

Re: Configuring Ubuntu to Store Time Machine Backups
Netatalk now natively works with Time Machine. It now can be install directly from the Ubuntu repositories. I have updated this guide to reflect those changes. Thanks!

Re: Configuring Ubuntu to Store Time Machine Backups
Does this work with OS X 10.7 Lion?
But the tutorial says:
Did you simply forget to change the date?
Plus this...
...is getting me really confused.

Re: Configuring Ubuntu to Store Time Machine Backups
Hello,
I have ubuntu 11.04 setup on an old dell desktop computer and plugged into my router.
I've followed the tutorial but when Time Machine scans for a device nothing it found. Not sure where to go from here, any help appreciated.
Regards,
Stephen
