About Linux/Mac fil...Hi, again excellent tutorials.<br />About Linux/Mac files exchange, i discovered a neat trick<br />for mounting and accessing folders of my MacMini (running<br />Leopard) on my iBookG3 (running Debian Wheezy).<br />That is with sshfs ,avaihable from Synaptic.<br />Command should be like this :<br />sudo sshfs -o allow_other,uid=501,gid=20<br />UserOfTheMac@AdressOfTheMac:/path/to/the/folder/you/want/to/mount /path/to/the/mount/point<br />-d<br /><br />"-o allow_other" option is for getting read/write permission on<br />the mounted volume, in this case the usuals 501/20 Mac user<br />uid and gid.<br />rest is self-explained, the Mac user login, then the Mac address,<br />then the folder/volume to mount, then the mount point, in my<br />case i've created a "Server" folder in my home directory.<br />Finally "-d" is for the debug option, a bit like a "-v" verbose<br />option... Hope this can be of some help :)<br /><br />Gaël Elégoët - galgotgalgothttp://galgot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749559194818088720.post-25892956560673810622013-06-28T09:07:24.847-07:002013-06-28T09:07:24.847-07:00Thanks!

My experience...Thank you for this series of posts.<br /><br />My experience with installing Ubuntu 10.10 on a 333MHz PPC Lombard was very similar. This is not too surprising given their common debian origins.<br /><br />I started with a brand-new hard disk drive, on which I installed XPostFacto so that I could install both MacOSX 10.4.11 and MacOS 9.2.2. (They were on a single partition of a multi-partitioned drive.) Then I used the Ubuntu installer to make further partitions for NewWorldBoot, /User and /swap and so forth.<br /><br />At first everything worked perfectly; I could select OSX versus Ubuntu using yaboot. I "discovered" the Startup Disk killing behavior, but not the simple solution you give here.<br /><br />In my experience, of the three desktop environments I installed & tested (LXDE, KDE, Gnome), the lightest-weight LXDE gave the best performance.<br /><br />I found that an old Sonnet Aria Extreme 802.11g card seemed to work reliably, despite driver issues.<br /><br />I found that shell commands to enable trackpad tap & drag, but the settings did not persist between startups.<br /><br />The various software center & package manager applications were fairly straightforward for finding and installing third-party applications. The Software-Update-equivalent is very good at finding and installing updates, including kernel and security-related updates, but it fails if I try using it to install the next version of Ubuntu, 11.04 Apparently there are crucial components that are not available in PPC code.<br /><br />Getting "serious" work done (e.g., bioinformatics) is problematic because of the antiquated hardware. But the point is: IT WORKS, by and large, for dual-booting between OSX and a fairly recent edition of Ubuntu.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749559194818088720.post-39765321203106788192012-03-19T06:37:01.018-07:002012-03-19T06:37:01.018-07:00what a great series of posts!
