By all means, go ahead and switch Kristian, although I ran into the same issue on a few Debian boxes I installed recently.
I'd rather have mdns and avahi enabled by default because a lot of printers rely on them. I also don't want to have to answer additional questions during the install. Like many people have said above, the problem is due to a misconfiguration on your network. Don't use '.local' for your Windows domain. If you can't change your internal domain, there's an easy work- around that's documented above as well. Why should we break a commonly-used protocol because *your* network is mis-configured? Please stop whining about it and threatening to switch because it's not productive and doesn't have any bearing on solving the issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/94940 Title: mdns listed in nsswitch.conf causes excessive time for dns lookups To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/avahi/+bug/94940/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
