The original issue was, roughly, that Avahi daemon disables itself when an ISP has a .local TLD. I take it that this is not a bug but a feature. So perhaps this report should be marked wontfix?
A desire was also expressed that the Avahi daemon handle this situation better, as described for example in my previous comment (#60). I have filed a new bug report (bug #1167352) requesting that the improved behavior be implemented. Another alleged issue is that the current test for .local has false positives: Exterminans claimed this in comment #46. However, his suggested alternative for line 58 looks the same to me as the original line 58 so I don't know what he means. Exterminans: Can you please open a *new* bug report with a fuller explanation of this false-positive bug? The current test for .local also suffers from false negatives. That is bug #80900. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/327362 Title: Some ISPs have .local domain which disables avahi-daemon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/327362/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
