Yeah, I had a look, but I couldn’t seem to get it to work that well.

I’m not that fussed about it (I ignore the Trash on my local machine. If I delete a file, I want it deleted).

Hi Matt,

thank you very much! now it finally works as expected.

Maybe you might want to have a look at this one trash on afp volumes

cheers

It looks like your machine does not have a hostname set. You can use hostname to set it. Try the following”

$ cat /etc/hostname

If that fails, then you would need to do:

$ sudo echo MachineName > /etc/hostname $ sudo hostname -F /etc/hostname

Then run the netatalk script again. If it fails, try the following. Look in /etc/default/netatalk

Change the line:

ATALK_NAME="hostname"

to:

ATALK="Machine Name You Want"

I ended up doing this anyway, since I wanted a different display than just the hostname when I connected.

Let me know you you have any further issues. I have the compiled uams_dhx.so file if you need it, but it is only likely to work if you are using Ubuntu 6.

Hi,
today i also tried to teach my ubuntu box the afp protocol. I also followed the instructions on coderspiel and the instructions from click. In the end i get an error when i try to start the service:

cv@server:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/netatalk start
hostname: Unknown host

So maybe you could help me to get that afp up and running.
