Ubuntu 18.10, Samba 4.8.4 smb.conf - what are the valid values for fruit:model?

  • 772

I'm accessing a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.10 and Samba 4.8.4 from macOS clients running Mojave. When connected via SMB, I want the Finder icon to look like a Mac Mini (because that's what Ubuntu 18.10 is running on).

In /etc/samba/smb.conf ([global] section), these values for fruit:model worked: Xserve, MacPro, iMac

These resulted in the default icon that looks like an Apple Cinema Display: MacBook, MacMini, MacSamba, TimeCapsule, RackMac

Saw a post recommending model names from /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Info.plist on a Mac. While there are many there, the ones I tried didn't work.

Re: avahi-daemon, Samba 4.8.4 can set the icon for connected macOS clients without avahi-daemon running (worked for the three models above). While having avahi-daemon helps the server be perpetually visible in the Finder, I'm trying to understand only the working values for fruit:model in the smb.conf.

Anyone have any insight?

  1. There are plenty of other model strings that should work as values; I believe they are directly read from /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Info.plist.

    Browsing through that file, you should be able to intuit valid values. For example, from the line

    UTTypeTagSpecification = { com.apple.device-model-code = ( "Macmini", "Macmini5", "Macmini6", "Macmini7" ); };

    I deduced that the proper string for the Mac Mini is Macmini (no CamelCase). MacBook should work, though. As should AppleTV, MacBook5,2, and many more appearing in the aforementioned file.

  2. One can use the following python script to get the latest available models.

    import plistlib
from contextlib import suppress

types = plistlib.load(open("/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Info.plist", "rb"))

models = []
for uttype in types['UTExportedTypeDeclarations']:
    with suppress(KeyError):
        model = uttype['UTTypeTagSpecification']['com.apple.device-model-code']
        if isinstance(model, str):
            models.append(model)
        else:
            models.extend(model)
fmt = ""
i = 4
models.sort()
prev = models[0][:i]

for model in models:
    if prev != (prev:=model[:i]):
        fmt += "\n\n"
    fmt += f"{model}, "
    
print(fmt)

    The currently available values for the 'fruit:model' parameter are:

    Remember to restart samba and avahi:

    sudo service smbd restart
sudo avahi-daemon -k

    As well as your Finder by clicking on the Finder while holding Ctrl + Option in that order.

    I also had to put the 'fruit:model' parameter in the global section of my 'smb.conf'.
