Also seeing this on 14.04. This is on a large university network. Some comments above suggest that this is due to Macs, others suggest that this is perhaps due to Windows 10. Any further insights? This pretty much makes my logs unusable.

I searched around to see why this might be and ran across the following avahi mailing list post along with a patch to fix it: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/avahi/2012-July/002171.html >>> I would say you can safely ignore it, since any machine on your network running a recent OSX version will cause these messages. Here's a patch with what we change to avoid these messages flooding syslog. -Justin <<< The patch which fixes this is here: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/avahi/attachments/20120719/1e71846e/attachment.obj To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/avahi/+bug/1342400/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
