Can't connect to TimeCapsule Wifi network from Ubuntu
On OMG Ubuntu is a blog post about how to set this up. I myself have been using this solution in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64-bit.
The blog post explains everything you have to do step-by-step.
How to connect to your Apple Time Capsule in Ubuntu
64-bit Ubuntu
- Download the source code from here.
- Make sure you have
build-essential
installed -
In a new Terminal session enter and install:
sudo apt-get install libgcrypt11 libgcrypt11-dev libgmp3c2 libgmp3-dev readline-common libreadline6 libreadline6-dev libfuse2 libfuse-dev
-
In a terminal type the following commands one after another:
tar -xzf afpfs-ng* cd afpfs-ng* ./configure –prefix=/usr sudo make install
Now follow the 32-bit instructions, skipping the need to install the .deb
32-bit Ubuntu
- Download the
.deb
from here. - Install by double clicking the
.deb
package. - On the Mac used to setup the Time Capsule, go to Airport Utility to find the IP of the Time Capsule.
-
Back in Ubuntu open up a Terminal and type:
mkdir ~/capsule
-
Followed by:
mount_afp afp://user:password@server_host_or_ip/Data ~/capsule
Filling in the user name you use to connect along with the password and the IP address you located earlier.
-
To unmount the drive use:
afp_client unmount ~/capsule
