Have you modified /etc/netatalk/afpd.conf like mentioned in the post? If you did and still can't connect, try going to Finder -> Go -> Connect to Server ... and enter smb://server_ip and connect to it. It should ask you for your user/pass, use your ubuntu server user/pass. Let me know if you still have issues.

I googled and tried this: mkdir /mnt/TimeMachine sudo chown username:username /mnt/TimeMachine chmod 755 /mnt/TimeMachine And configured the cooresponding backup folder in /etc/netatak/AppleVolumes.default # By default all users have access to their home directories. #~/ "Home Directory" /mnt/TimeMachine "TMBackup" allow:username options:tm (By the way, wahat username is supposed to be after that allow:? My username on my Mac or the servers username?) The Ubuntu server is visible in Finder but it can´t connect. It might be because I am testing this setup first on a VM in Virtualbox (with bridged connection). Any hints?
