QUESTION :
I have a kubuntu machine.
I want to connect to a mac using AFP.
I’ve installed the netatalk package in kubuntu.
Now what?
EDIT:
Let me clarify. My main desktop machine is a kubuntu system. I have some downloaded podcasts and music on a macmini that I want to access from my Kubuntu desktop. They are shared and available to other mac systems on the network. I’m just not sure how to access them from kubuntu
ANSWER :
Found the answer here:

According to that page:
afpfs-ng is a client for the Apple
Filing Protocol (AFP) which will let
you mount and access shared volumes
from Mac OS X (or netatalk) to Linux,
BSD and Mac OS X systems.
Perfect, that’s what I am wanting!
Also install the avahi-daemon
package. This is ‘Bonjour’ for Linux. It’ll help you go in the other direction as now your Kubuntu box will show up like so in the Finder:
Once this is done, restart both the netatalk
and avahi-daemon
services. Do this by opening a terminal and doing:
$ sudo service netatalk restart
and
$ sudo service avahi-daemon restart
Hope this helps.
