OK thanks for the updates. So I can see a lot of mDNS packets in the lp1874021.pcap capture from various sources. I can see some printers, google cast, sonoff, etc. Curiously though when you do the avahi cache dump it isn't seeing any of these.
Wireshark is showing malformed packets for many of the responses strangely, the IP and UDP headers indicate a different length to that of the actual dta. Not sure if this is an issue with wireshark, the wireless driver or whatever mDNS implementations are replying. May need further looking at. But it's curious though that avahi is showing absoultely no cached services, and that it works on ethernet, given that the lp1874021.pcap seems to show plenty of actual mDNS packets coming and going. Could you try start Avahi (on wireless) using --debug (1) override the systemd config with this command: systemctl edit avahi-daemon.service Once the editor opens, add the following 3 lines then save and squit: [Service] ExecStart= ExecStart=/usr/sbin/avahi-daemon -s --debug Then restart avahi-daemon: sudo systemctl restart avahi-daemon.service Lastly run "avahi-browse -av", wait a minute or two, then upload a copy of the "journalctl -u avahi-daemon" again? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to avahi in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1874021 Title: avahi-browse -av is empty, mdns not working in arduino ide Status in avahi package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When I started the arduino IDE my port list is empty. This list relies on multicast DNS which is served by avahi. When running the avahi-browse -av command on ubuntu 18.04 I get a list of al mdns devices. On ubuntu 20.04 the're no mdns devices reported. The avahi-daemon is running. And when executing netstat -nlp | grep 5353 I see avahi-daemon is listening. When also running tcpdump port 5353 I see mdns packages arriving. But still avahi-browse -av is empty. iptables -A shows no rules and policies are accept ufw is disabled I also removed apparmor but also that didn't make any difference. On both ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 the avahi version is 0.7. --- ProblemType: Bug ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 InstallationDate: Installed on 2020-04-08 (13 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS "Focal Fossa" - Beta amd64 (20200402) Package: avahi-daemon 0.7-4ubuntu7 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.4.0-25.29-generic 5.4.30 Tags: focal Uname: Linux 5.4.0-25-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dialout dip lpadmin lxd plugdev sambashare sudo _MarkForUpload: True To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/avahi/+bug/1874021/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
