Netatalk with Debian or Ubuntu

Chris Carey — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 23:10:42 +0000

By default, it is compiled without SSL support. Mac clients will not be able to connect. Here is how you get Netatalk working on Debian or Ubuntu the clean way, with custom compiled packages.

apt-get source netatalk
apt-get install devscripts fakeroot libssl-dev cracklib2-dev
apt-get build-dep netatalk
cd netatalk-2.0.3
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=ssl debuild
dpkg -i ../netatalk*.deb

If you get an error message about keysigning (when building), this command may help:

DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=ssl dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc

Netatalk on Intrepid once again

The deb file I used to use isnt working. But this script does work for compiling netatalk with SSL support so it actually works:

mkdir -p ~/src/netatalk
cd ~/src/netatalk
sudo apt-get install devscripts cracklib2-dev dpkg-dev libssl-dev build-essential
sudo apt-get build-dep netatalk
apt-get source netatalk
cd netatalk-2.0.3
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=ssl dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc
sudo debi

echo “netatalk hold” | sudo dpkg –set-selections

Recursive grep search with filenames and line numbers

Slack and Bill at worked helped me out with a nice recursive grep search. It is now my favorite:

egrep -irHn

AFP File Sharing from Linux to Mac

Chris Carey — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 19:02:29 +0000

I posted something on this a while back, and someone in the comments posted a great howto. I felt it is worthy of another link so it is easy to find. This basically lets your Linux box share files using the AFP protocol which is very fast and the native file sharing protocol for Mac OS X.

This person built a DEB package for modified netatalk which works on Ubuntu Ibex:

PHP phpinfo() on the fly

Chris Carey — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 21:21:47 +0000

Here is a little trick to get phpinfo() information on the fly.

You need php-cli installed (sometimes its called php4-cli or php5-cli)

echo "" | php4 echo "" | php5 echo "" | php5-cli

etc

You can also tack on a | grep at the end if you want to filter for certain words.

Turning Ubuntu Hardy into OS X

Chris Carey — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 04:19:14 +0000

Since I’m an Apple fanboy now of course I love the OS X experience. I wanted to theme my Ubuntu to look nicer and came across this link. I love the new fonts the most! They kick the trash out of the built in fonts.
