Ubuntu Networking :: Create File Sharing Between MacBook Pro And Lucid Box For Time Machine Backups?
Mar 19, 2011
I've been trying to create file sharing between my MacBook Pro and my Lucid Lynx box for time machine backups and media server purposes. I followed this guide:[URL]..Everything seems to work with these exceptions: I can see my LucidLynx box in my finder app in my Mac but only when I run these commands from Ubuntu:
If I restart my LucidLynx box then I can't see anything in finder. I can't log into my LucidLynx box from finder. I don't get a bad username or password error it just tells me the connection failed. *Note if I do enter an incorrect username or password it WILL tell me it's incorrect. I've looked at this link below since some people have used it in theses forums but it's a bit dated[URL]..
**Edit: path for mount was incorrect Distro Server: CentOS 5.5
Clients: Fedora(latest) OSX(latest)
Backround I am attempting to setup a server in my house mostly(for the first time) for backups and file sharing. It is important to me that file permissions are preserved. So its my understanding that I must use idmapd in order for this to work. As of now I'm only working with the linux distros while osx will be dealt with once these two work together. portmapper is up and running, along with lockd on both machines. Firewalls are also down on both machines for now. The server side was all setup using the GUI interface with no extra options selected. Problem When attempting to "mount -t nfs4 10.0.0.2/$sharedfolder /mnt" I get an error operation not permitted with no error printing in /var/log/message. If I use "mount -t -o nolock nfs4 10.0.0.2/$sharedfolder /mnt" it mounts just fine. Ive checked both machines multiple times to make sure that lockd is up and running. In the idmapd.conf file I the domain as "localdomain" for both machines but I doubt that is right; like I stated above this is my first attempt at a server. I'm assuming the problem is a whole missing step that involves some kind of id mapping server I need to setup.
I'm trying to follow various ways to setup a Time Machine drive on my Ubuntu 'natty' server. I am at the stage now though where I can't seem to find the external USB HDD anywhere. I have it partitioned into two and cannot find anything to do with it. When I check ot doesn't show up in the memory either. Is there a way to mount it or find it?
Just wanted to share a script that I wrote to migrate data off of a Time Machine backup. As anyone who's tried this knows, it's not straightforward because most directories are pseudo-hardlinked according to some hare-brained scheme Apple came up with. (Hard-linked directories actually show up as zero-length regular files with bizarre link counts greater than 128. The link count corresponds to a directory called "dir_$N" (where $N is the link count) inside of a special directory at the root of the Time Machine volume called ".HFS+ Private Directory Data^M" (where the ^M is a literal carriage-return character).)
Here's the script (it's also attached, for convenience). It works pretty much the same as "rsync -av <SRC_DIR> <DST_DIR>" would, if the pseudo-hardlinks weren't in the way. In other words, it just recursively copies the first directory to the second. So the first argument (the source directory) is typically something like
I have got a wireless network in my house with a router as the hub and my Linux Laptop and Macbook connecting to it. I have got a wireless Kodak printer which the Macbook uses, but they do not have any drivers for Linux. I have enabled ssh for both the laptops and have enabled "Print sharing" on the Macbook. Can I access the printer from the Linux laptop via the Macbook? When I have sshed to the macbook, the kodak printer comes up in the list of printers to choose from...but the printing job just goes to the queue, but does not actually complete. Is this because I have not got the drivers for the linux laptop?
I have been looking for a solution to an apparently simple problem, but could not find anything for Lucid. All solution I found imply modifying files that apparently don't exist anymore (/etc/default/bluetooth, /etc/bluetooth/hid.conf, ...)I have an old laptop running Xubuntu (lucid). Internet card is dead but it has a bluetooth adapter in the USB port. I also have another laptop with internet, wireless, and bluetooth on board. How can I configure both so that the first access the internet trough the second?
- Internet works on the second (of course!)
- Bluetooth work on both, I can pair them and send file from one to the other (although I cannot browse them, but it seems to be an unrelated problem)
- I have blueman on both and tried to configure it to do what I want but it did not work (old computer has a bnep0 interface, but no address for it)
- Old laptop sees "Network access point" and "group network" as bluetooth services of new laptop (although I did uncheck "group network" in the local services setting on new laptop)
- as I said I looked on the web but only found solutions that appear to be designed for older versions of Ubuntu because they refer to non existing files on my two laptops.
I just installed the beta 10.04 LTS with Gnome Version: 2.29.92. I want to to create a network share but when I navigate to system>preferences>personal file sharing I can not create a share. The message indicates that the feature is not available because the required package is not installed. I tried to reinstall gnome-user-share and in reinstalled without issue but I still get the same thing. What am I missing? How can I create a network share?
I've been looking around for something that can help me share files with my notebook with lucid and my desktop with windows xp...i could only find help in setting up ubuntu... i dont know how to connect to XP, setup xp for file sharing with ubuntu and share my files.
I'm trying to setup a mercurial code sharing server on an Ubuntu machine but I can't figure out how to get it running. I'm setting up this server on a LAN so I don't want any security. Another thing I should mention is that I'm using Netbeans to code in Java. how use mercurial and tortoise (I've got them installed).
I'm having some problems with file and print sharing between my Fedora 12 box and my Win 7 box. trying to access shares on the Win 7 machine results in a "unable to retrieve the shares list" error message. I've been searching Google for a while now with no success.
Does anyone know of a decent Ubuntu networking tutorial I can work through? I'm struggling to get a new install of Lucid to see anything on my home network.
The current state of play is: I can browse the internet and the router. I have several laptops running Ubuntu and a NAS drive but the HP desktop PC with the new Lucid installation can't see them. The NAS and the HP are wired to the router. I installed Lucid because I never got Maverick to see the network either. Lucid on my laptop can see the NAS drive over wireless. I can see the NAS drive but not the other machines if I boot the HP into WinXP.
I'm not much good at XP networking either so perhaps that needs configuring too. A decent tutorial would be useful, especially one that doesn't assume I have Windows machines on the network as we rarely use Windows now.
I am trying to extract just a few files/folders from a Time Machine backup, but can't seem to find them. The drive is automatically mounted in Ubuntu, and am able to access after enabling view hidden files, the HFS+ Private Data Directory. But that is a jumbled array of thousands of numbered folders, with each taking a fair amount of time to open on this aging Dell running 10.10.
I've tried running the standard Places - Search for Documents, with 'Show hidden and backup files' enabled, but that won't pull up any of the search times I'm going for (and seemingly won't find anything at all on the drive). So, is there any way to decipher the directory tree so as to be able to access this data from Ubuntu? Or perhaps a file embedded somewhere in there that lists out the original structure, so that I can use it as an index to see what number correlates to what originally named folder?
I'm starting to use a mac, and would like to install different operating systems on it, and, if possible, share some partitions. (like home)
I'm planning to install Debian along with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, and share it's home directory, of, if possible, at least, create a new partition only for my mp3 files.
I would like to create lossless backups of my DVDs, or more exactly the main movie including one or more audio tracks and a subtitle of my choice. I would like to have the subtitle burned into the movie so that I only have one file (container). No, I don't want a complete DVD folder (TS_Video and other stuff) nor do I want to create an iso file of the DVD. Is it possible? The way I see it there should be two options:
1. Extract the wanted audio track/tracks, one subtitle and the main movie. Keep the audio track/tracks and the movie track in their original formats, and put it all together in one file/container (subtitle burnt in). In theory it should work! I know the video tracks are mostly MPEG2 and the audio tracks mostly AC-3 or DTS.
2. Do almost exactly as above, but before putting it all together compress the video and audio tracks even further to some lossless formats. In theory this should work too! In some other forum a guy told me that since MPEG2 and AC-3/DTS are already compressed formats it probably isn't possible to compress audio and video much further without losses, which is probably true.
Is it possible to do what I want to do? How? If this process is not easy to do it would be nice if some of the skilled guys would create an application that does exactly this. I believe more than me would find it extremely useful.
I would like to create an automatic sequence of Openoffice backups of a spreadsheet file, and each would be the daughter of the previous version.I would like it to autosave every hour so at the end of the day I could then manually make up a 'Day' file for permanent record.
I have a machine running Karmic sat in the corner of my office. I scp stuff from my mac to it quite a lot over my local wireless network.At the moment, it holds a .sparsebundle backup of my mac created by SuperDuper! (mac backup application) that I periodically transfer over. I'd like to make this system a little more sophisticated and use Apple's Time Machine to automatically backup to my Ubuntu box if possible.
Anyone have any experience of this? I'm kinda hoping for something a bit more straight forward than this: http:[url]....
I have Centos5.4 loaded on a late 2008 MACBOOK Pro and would like to get wireless working. I've attempted to download the broadcom driver and create a driver module with no luck.
I am getting the databases from mysql and my database name is username_something. I am getting the username and then puting the respective backups in corresponding folders like
tar bala bla /backups/sql/username/username_something.tar.sql.gz
The problem is system worrks if i have the folder username already there but for new databases if get the error like unknown file path.
How can i do that if username folder is not there it should be created
I've had several HDD crashes on my personal server over the years and it's just gotten to be a real pain in the rear. Crashed again this morning. Currently, I make monthly tarball backups of the entire filesystem using my script:
Code:
#!/bin/sh # Removes the tarball from the previous execution. rm -rf /backup/data/*.tar.gz
I am using the Terminal. I would like to know how do I put the current date and time on my machine and the date from a certain URL that has .php extension into a file.
I have created a partition through Boot Camp, downloaded the 64 bit Intel installer for PC and Mac, verified the checksum, burned a CD from its image (on the second try), but when I try to boot up from that CD, rEFIt refuses because of a "legacy" problem. I assumed it would be a live CD, from which I could do the installation; am I wrong, is there another way to install from it? My MacBook Pro 5,3 is the one exception to having its own installation page.
I have ubunto desktop 10.04 LTS I installed samba and able to access the share on windows machines. However i want to access the share on 300 windows machine(for example) systems at a time Is it possible.
I installed the bleeding edge drivers using a guide I was referred to from the wiki, when I was having intermittent wifi connections. It worked well for about two days, but now it's just as intermittent as before, and it works just fine in OSX and on other machines, so I'm thinking I need to change the driver.
How do I go about installing another driver? Which ones have you had luck with for a MacBook Pro Santa Rosa 3,1 running lucid under 64 bits?
I just installed 9.10 and I tried to share specific folders by right clicking and selecting share. Not a problem.
However when I goto a Windows machine I see the share but cannot connect, says incorrect login/ password. I used the same login/ pass for the linux box and I created a new user and I still get the same results. What am I doing wrong?
I want to use the GUI for this please. When I edit the smb.conf I don't see the share.
I have two desktop computers on the same home network and I am unable to share files between the two. Both have access to the network. One is able to file and printer share using SAMBA and a windows 7 laptop. The other machine is unable to either do file sharing via Samba or SSL file sharing between the two Ubuntu machines.
