I see a pop up that says
Share Files over the Network
This feature cannot be enabled because the required packages are not installed on your system
Simple enough, but what packages do I need?
I have a Mac laptop (10.6) with screen sharing enabled. I would like to connect to it from my Ubuntu desktop running 10.04.
I have Remote Desktop Viewer installed. The laptop doesn't show up in the "nearby" list but I can see the machine in the list when I go to Machine->Connect and press Find in the resulting panel. Selecting the Mac results in a wait and then a pop up error panel stating: Avahi resolver failure: Timeout reached
So my question, is there an easy way to connect from Ubuntu to Mac? If not with Remote Desktop Viewer, then what is the "preferred" method?
I have a Mac at home, and run Ubuntu at work. I'd like to be able to connect to my Mac in a similar way to how I had when I worked on a Mac. I have MobileMe so I used Back to My Mac (Apple's version to dynamic DNS) to connect and Screen Sharing (VNC) to access the screen.
My question is, what's the best way to recreate this setup so that I can do the same actions from Ubuntu?
Thank you.
What settings are necessary for setting up a .Mac account? At the VERY least for mail but would like calendars as well if its even a possibility.
Its a bit of a tease that I can see iTunes shares on the local network in Rhythmbox, but I'm unable to access them. Is there anything I can do to enable access to function?
