Public bug reported:
I installed Ubuntu MATE 14.10 on an Acer 1410 and an Acer Aspire One
521. In both cases I discovered that other devices on my network could
only be contacted via SSH using their IP address. The remote device name
(e.g myLaptop.local) was not recognised either for SSH operations or
even a ping.
I checked the Avahi related packages installed on another computer
running Mint 17.1, from which remote host names were recognised, and
made a list of the packages missing from Ubuntu MATE. These packages
were as follows:
gnome-user-share
libavahi-compat-libdnssd1
libmono-zeroconf1.0-cil
avahi-discover
avahi-dnsconfd
I installed these onto both Acer machines using Synaptic and the problem
was solved on both. All devices on my network from then on could be
identified by host name as well as IP address.
The installation ISO image for Ubuntu MATE 14.10 was downloaded from the
official website on 2nd March 2015, around 2100 GMT.
