Hi Trent,

I tried (2). But the services vanished after some time. avahi-browse -a brings them back again.

I run the Avahi on Fedora 21 inside a KVM quest machine with the virtio driver.

Google finds some multicast-problems with virtio, but they are several years old.

Hi Robert,

The most common cause of this issue is that the network driver is not correctly 
handling multicast.


Can you please try one of these two things and let me know if it resolves the 
issue.  Replace ‘eth0’ with your relevant interface:

(1) Leave tcpdump running (goes into promiscuous mode, and thus, all multicast 
packets are received, even if the network driver is broken)
tcpdump -ni eth0

(2) Enable the ‘all multicast’ flag:
ifconfig eth0 allmulti

Regards,
Trent

i,

I'm running Avahi on a Fedora 20 to announce some printers to OSX boxes. I do 
this for 2-3 years and never had any problems.

I now upgraded the system to Fedora 21 and something strange happens.

Avahi announces the services perfectly. After some time (1-3 hours) the OSX do 
not see the printer accouncements anymore.

If I do a

avahi-browse -a

the services reappear. Restarting the service does help. ps tells me, the 
daemon is running.

I appended a debug switch, but there is nothing strange to be found in syslog.

[Unit]
Description=Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Stack
Requires=avahi-daemon.socket

[Service]
Type=dbus
BusName=org.freedesktop.Avahi
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/avahi-daemon -s --debug
ExecReload=/usr/sbin/avahi-daemon -r
NotifyAccess=main

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Also=avahi-daemon.socket
Alias=dbus-org.freedesktop.Avahi.service

Any ideas how to debug this ? Where to look ?

Regards,
Robert
