| 00:00.13 | simonrvn | try turning off RTC_X |
| 00:00.21 | quitte | ok. thanks. i hope the kernel will fix it. |
| 00:00.22 | simonrvn | but keep regular RTC |
| 00:00.52 | quitte | heh figured that out after disabling - the real option just showed up. |
| 00:05.26 | simonrvn | yeh you need RTC ;). but RTC_X is non-functional on my box.. sooner or later the thing freezes up |
| 00:06.26 | quitte | does the imac have appletalk devices? i don't think so, but i still don't understand some vital parts about macs. |
| 00:07.21 | simonrvn | appletalk has to do with netatalk. it's a virtual device, just like the driver for your NIC is |
| 00:07.50 | simonrvn | a related device is ipddp, which is what afpd 'talks' |
| 00:08.06 | simonrvn | appletalkovertcp protocol |
| 00:08.14 | simonrvn | uh afpovertcp rather |
| 00:08.39 | quitte | in the appletalk devices section i can select firmware support options, so i think those are real devices. which i most possibly don't have. |
| 00:08.40 | simonrvn | (afp = apple file-sharing protocol) |
| 00:08.59 | simonrvn | some are real cards, yes. but most machines don't have them |
| 00:09.30 | quitte | ok so what should i select apart from appletalk protocol support? |
| 00:09.30 | simonrvn | like the old farallon cards for instance |
| 00:10.08 | simonrvn | appletalk, and the encap/decap stuff should be fine. only useful if you share a net with other macs (of course) |
| 00:10.25 | simonrvn | i just build it as a matter of course |
| 00:10.35 | quitte | ok. i have mol running, so basically i share the net with macs |
| 00:11.14 | simonrvn | yeh, you'll want to anyway, just so you can export your home via netatalk, and be able to access your home dir from mac os |
| 00:11.20 | simonrvn | ;) |
| 00:12.34 | simonrvn | default config for a fresh install of netatalk allows for that, so you don't even need to configure anything (though you might want to set it up so the a-talk stuff starts in the background) |
| 00:12.49 | simonrvn | that you set in /etc/default/netatalk |
| 00:13.22 | quitte | oh yes i want to do that. thank you. netatalk startup was really a waste of time, as i hardly use it. |
| 00:14.17 | simonrvn | gets to be much less of a pita if you do that (dunno hy it isn't set up like that by default..). i think i'll file a wishlist bug |
