Was about to report this too, yes I'm seeing this, and have seen it for the past few Ubuntu versions, but as it tended to happen when I was distracted by going off to do something and it didn't stop me, i never got around to posting a bug about it before.
I'm using 11.04 Natty all up to date and I'm still seeing this. Also, often, one of the pairs of entries doesn't work; the connection fails immediately with "Connection closed" and no further information in evidence. Also, it's not restricted to its view of remote Macs, as the screenshot in the attachment should demonstrate. For this I must confess my network naming scheme... ;-} In the attached screenshot, fluttershy, octavia and twilight are all Linux Ubuntu Natty machines, the others are Macs. However, a possible reason for *that* is that I altered the avahi configuration on the Linux machines to make them more co-operative on a predominantly mac network - ie: they behave the same way with respect to the file and screen sharing visibility in the mac Finder, and also show up as sftp servers on nautilus the way macs with login sharing enabled do. And clearly they now emulate macs so faithfully in this respect that they trigger the same bug in vinagre. :-) The avahi changes are, in total: in /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf: disable-user-service-publishing=yes This is to kill ubuntu's remote desktop *server*'s way of advertising its services, which can't otherwise be disabled or configured - there are other bugs about that. This change hasn't actually been done on this machine as I don't share out the desktop from it, so the problem doesn't arise; but the double-entry for its ssh+sftp service still shows up. (I'm using fluttershy, and there it is, two ssh entries at the top.) In the attached tarball are also the extra .service files added to /etc/avahi/services if the associated services are actually enabled. Included as a way to reproduce the problem if you don't have macs on your network. :-) The problem if you were to tell me that these .service files are buggy is that the same bug is hard-baked into Mac OS X. ** Attachment added: "contains screenshot and .service files demonstrating and reproducing the bug" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vinagre/+bug/671275/+attachment/2292439/+files/vinagrebug.tar.gz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/671275 Title: Duplicate entries for Hosts nearby To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vinagre/+bug/671275/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
