@bubba - you must edit /etc/default/avahi-daemon - then start the daemon : /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start
maybe a fix to this issue would be to popup a window. This window would explain that the deamon is not running and could explain how to activate it -- avahi-discover should display an error message instead of crashing https://launchpad.net/bugs/65601 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
