  1. We have a #netatalk dropbox for #marchintosh ! Usual method - delete everything and start again. The apparent reason for the problem was wrong permissions on the hidden directories inside the shares. Many thanks to those who helped! (PS Send me stuff - EtriNet :) )

  2. oh I wish that had worked :( Thanks! It seems that, although apparently simple, #netatalk is a bit of a maze of twisty options.

  3. That would be a fallback, I can do that too. I'd still like to know if this is a bug or something I'm doing wrong. #netatalk documentation is rough. I'm on 4.2.3 on Debian - you?

  4. Hitting a wall with #netatalk here during #marchintosh - guest access always ends up with shares being locked, so I can't open a drop box for you to send me nice things over #globaltalk - anyone successfully done this?

  5. interested in any tips on how to get the IIci connected to Netatalk..

    im on System 7.5.3 and using BlueSCSI's DaynaPort emulation with Open Transport 1.3. my router is a GL-iNet Flint2 with OpenWRT, which is supposed to handle AppleTalk over wifi.

    my AFP share shows up in Chooser, but when trying to log in i just get this error (the credentials are correct, there is a different error if i mistype them) #MARCHintosh #Netatalk #BlueSCSI

  6. #Netatalk experts: any idea why, as of late, my AFP #GlobalTalk shares have been showing up with generic document icons on Mac OS 7.x? But the icons look just fine on Mac OS 9?

    This started happening around the time I migrated my shares from my NAS over to a Raspberry Pi, and upgraded to Netatalk 4.3.2.

    I've confirmed that the share folder permissions are the same on both systems, as well as the permissions on the hidden “.Icon$\r” files at the root of the shares. However the Finder does not allow me to change the icons via the Get Info screen (on both Mac OS 7 and 9), which seems to imply that there _is_ a permissions issue of some kind. Yet, folks can read and write to the shares just fine.

    I tried deleting the hidden icon files, which made no difference (other than causing the default Netatalk icon to show on Mac OS 9, since I removed the custom icon). Changing the "legacy icon" option in the Netatalk config also makes no difference, other than making a different Netatalk icon show on Mac OS 9.

  7. @_the_cloud @macgarden yeah, I noted that, too. I’m using tardis (renamed zardis to get it past all the other Chooser extensions, as it’s set-and-forget) and #netatalk’s timelord-compatible server, but it might be nice to use a system-contemporaneous native TCP client.

  8. Updated my #Synology NAS to DSM 7.3 and now the #Netatalk docker container no longer starts 😕

    My #GlobalTalk main file share and virtual printer will be offline until I can get this figured out.

    This is what the container log spits out:

    socket: Address family not supported by protocol
    socket: Address family not supported by protocol
    atalkd: can't get interfaces, exiting.

  9. Ебучие бляди, захуй вы убили в #ksmbd поддержку #smb1 (#cifs)?

    История: раньше работало всё через самбу, обновил #openwrt, они там отказались от «устаревших» протоколов. Маки отвалились, виндовоз (нахуй нужен) работает. Пришлось поставить кошерный #afp через #netatalk
    Аминь

  12. I've updated my Classic Mac Support blog post with info on how to create a Print to PDF printer that's shared over AppleTalk with netatalk!

  13. Ok, so this centipede printer workflow isn’t really reliable so I dove into CUPS to try and see if there’s a way to alter the dithering.

    I tried adding different settings to the PPD file but nothing produced any changes.

    Until I added “DitherPPI” (a GS option) and it produced a result that was pretty good! I tried various values (30, 80, 120, 180) but they all looked identical. In any case, this is good enough for me!

  14. The way it works is this:

    1. A print is initiated from a device to the CUPS-PDF driver on my #netatalk Raspberry Pi.
    2. The resulting PDF is placed in the AFP share of netatalk/afpd.
    3. An emulated PPC Mac 9.2.2 running the #AppleScript below is watching for new files in that folder and will print them using Acrobat Reader to the #ImageWriterII via #LocalTalk using the MacPalette II driver.

    It works, but crashes with dialog that I can't auto-dismiss.

  15. My #GlobalTalk setup has now moved to a Proxmox VM (Devuan Linux), so it won't interfere with my other stuff on my home server.
    I now have a #netatalk server for file sharing and the #GlobalTalk router in a qemu m68k "VM".
    It runs fine, thank you to all GlobalTalk people who make this possible!
    In the next days, I will explore the GlobalTalk world from my #Performa 475, which is now running fine with MacOS 7.6.1 on a #BlueSCSI v2 and an Asante Ethernet card :)

  16. And all the #netatalk stuff for transferring my #MacOS9 system folder from the #Pismo to the #PowerBookG4 :) Fine to have a running afp.conf, so it was a job of minutes to migrate it into the vm. And the copying is quite fast over ethernet.
