Why won’t netatalk start? systemctl status rvice See "systemctl status rvice" and "journalctl -xe" for details. Job for rvice failed because the control process exited with error code. Hmmm….why wouldn’t atalkd be running? I went ahead and tried to restart netatalk: sudo service netatalk restart ps ax | grep atalkdģ351 pts/0 R+ 0:00 grep -color=auto atalkd I checked out the server, and noticed that atalkd wasn’t running. Support for AppleTalk was removed in version 3.x, so that’s why I’m still using 2.x. This allows it to work with really old classic Macs that don’t even have a TCP/IP stack installed. Version 2.x, which I use, supports the ancient AppleTalk protocol. It allows other operating systems to act as Mac file servers. If you’re not familiar with netatalk, it’s an implementation of Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) that runs on Unix-like operating systems such as Linux and NetBSD. The Netatalk website is where new releases and other news about the project are posted.I was looking at one of my classic Macs a few weeks ago, and noticed that my Ubuntu 18.04 netatalk server wasn’t showing up in the Chooser anymore.
