I’ve spent my entire evening fixing my appletalk set up after I accidentally ‘upgraded’ my handcrafted netatalk with the stock ubuntu one. I crafted my own because the stock package doesn’t support encrypted passwords.
I’ve reinstalled, rebuild and rebooted netatalk on the server and I kept getting this error:
“The operation cannot be completed because one or more required items cannot be found. (Error code -35)”
Googling this error didn’t give me much and it took me a while to realize that googling for: error code -35 will give you no useful results do to the minus sign. In the end I discovered that it is not ubuntu but Apple to blame for the error. Apparently at some point in time the globalpreferences get fcked. So the solution is:
rm ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist
