what is your host system? do you have full permissions for the folder? user needs sudo privileges

share the progress stage of the script

[Snake221982]

Linux Mint 21.3 system. Of course there are sudo privileges

Thanks FaabsD. Can you confirm your system is running on an x86 architecture? You can run 'uname -m' to output your arch.

If so the script is now for arm and aarch64 that support KVM acceleration. This should be the reason why your VM is not loading up. There is a little bug in the current version that doesn't stop the script if x86 is detected.

I'm working on an x86 VM too and I should be releasing it soon. If you volunteer to test that would be great ;)

here is the output from uname:

Thank you. Script has been updated to v1.0.4 to handle x86 systems, currently unsupported (performance with arm VM not ideal). I'm going to be releasing soon an ad-hoc x86 VM so that it can run natively on those systems.

I've re-written most of the script for x86_64 and aarch64. This should cover the vast majority of users both on INTEL and ARM.

Also disk space requirements for VM has been reduced by more than 80% 😊

Let me know if this solves the issues you encountered with the previous version!

Hi Snake, try again. I think I found your issue.. let me know if your issue is resolved

Hi! Just great. Everything worked. Thank you very much.🫡🤝

[leobrigassi]

Hi cool. Looks like is a permission issue on your system or maybe ownership. Can you confirm the ownership of the files in the directory time-capsule-proxy?

Run this command from within the directory:

whoami && groups && ls -la

thanks and enjoy ;)

That's not from inside the directory.

Browse inside the time-capsule-proxy directory /folder.

Then run the command.

Thanks

Looks like you have some funky permission policy interfering with the script. I've updated the script again to account for your case where elevated privileges are required to access the VM. However I've updated the script so that other users that do not need it will still use normal privileges which is better.

Can you please provide some more info on the user (1001) that owns id_rsa_vm? run: getent passwd 1001

Also can you confirm the uid of ra-spain? run: id -u

Please test the updated installation script and verify it mounts correctly the time-capsule-proxy also after reboot? Thanks for your help debugging!

[Snake221982]

Похоже, у вас какая-то странная политика разрешений, которая мешает работе скрипта. Я снова обновил скрипт, чтобы учесть ваш случай, когда для доступа к виртуальной машине требуются повышенные привилегии. Однако я обновил скрипт так, чтобы другие пользователи, которым это не нужно, по-прежнему использовали обычные привилегии, что лучше.

Можете ли вы предоставить больше информации о пользователе (1001), которому принадлежит id_rsa_vm? выполните: getent passwd 1001

Также можете ли вы подтвердить uid ra-spain? выполните: id -u

Пожалуйста, протестируйте обновленный скрипт установки и убедитесь, что он правильно монтирует time-capsule-proxy также после перезагрузки? Спасибо за помощь в отладке!

getent passwd 1001

Thanks.

Install again to test the latest update works for you. If you can please check the mount is available after reboot (it takes a couple of minutes). cheers!

Updated, rebooted the MacBook. After rebooting, the script automatically launched and everything works fine. Once again, many thanks.🤝🤝🤝

[leobrigassi]

my pleasure.

By the way if you are using a MacBook it would explain the issues you encountered. Take note that it can mount the time capsule natively without using this trick.. ;)

open Finder go to Network (SHIFT + CMD + K) select your Time Capsule or AirPort Extreme and enter credentials

This script is more intended to be used with Linux machines with kernel 5.15 or above which no longer support the sec=ntlm mount flag and therefore have trouble mounting the share directly.

Anyway enjoy ;)

The thing is that I have Linux installed on my MacBook, so I needed this script, since there were no other ways to connect to the capsule.

[Snake221982]

In the network section, the Mac sees the capsule, but does not connect to it. And with the help of the script, all the problems were solved

[leobrigassi]

I see. Glad to be of help!
