Hola!

I tried installing netatalk using Cydia… but i get an error after cydia finishes the installation:

launchctl: Couldn’t
stat(“/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/net.sourceforge.netatalk.afpd.plist”):No such file or directory
nothing found to unload
launchctl: Couldn’t
stat(“/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/net.sourceforge.netatalk.afpd.plist”):No such file or directory
nothing found to load

I have SSHed my iphone and i could not find such file there,
any idead how do i get a copy of it? or maybe some of you could post the contents of the file so i can create it on my iphone.

I have looked on the web but i could not find anything related to this problem.

Thanks so much!

Thanks, works perfectly. I use SBSettings instead, so I didn’t know how to make a little widget, but I just run it in terminal. I’ve don’t use netatalk much anyway, but it is a good thing to have, just incase i need it, but 90% of the time, it will be turned off.

A reinstall of netatalk from cydia should clobber any stuff ups. I use vi to edit/create files, but that is what I am use to. Try nano, it is available in cydia and is a pretty simple terminal based text editor.

Sorry, but I need to comment. Changing the permissions of a script you write to executable and read-only is not a security risk. Well no more than throwing a sh in front of it. Changing the permission of a system file might be silly. But you created these files.

Permissions are not scary, the a feature of a unix based OS to be used.

Rob, just a quick thanks! Wow, that works great. I, like a few others had some issues, but made sure the scripts were correct and then read through the comments again.

Sure enough, Morph21′s suggestion to slightly modify two lines in the services file did the trick. This seemed much better than trying to modify permissions or open potential security holes.

BTW, this is on an unlocked and jailbroken 3G (from HK), recently upgraded to 2.2.

Thanks!
