[Bug 1586528] Re: Avahi-daemon withdraws address record

[Graham Bosworth]

Hello Nir,

A few things have been suggested as possibly being at fault, and this
has been a long saga, but one of the symptoms is that the "Network
Manager" icon can be lost, making it difficult to recover the connection
that way.  For myself, I want to know either how to prevent the problem
from happening, or to find an automated scripted method of recovering
after the problem.  Have you any suggestions please?

Thanks,
Graham

Title:
  Avahi-daemon withdraws address record

Status in avahi package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  For some reason, if I leave my Ubuntu VM up for a prolonged period of
  time the machine will lose connection to the network.  ip addr shows
  that the nic port no longer has an address and an examination of the
  syslog shows this:

  May 27 14:19:38 matt-VirtualBox avahi-daemon[590]: Withdrawing address record for 10.0.2.15 on enp0s3.
  May 27 14:19:38 matt-VirtualBox avahi-daemon[590]: Leaving mDNS multicast group on interface enp0s3.IPv4 with address 10.0.2.15.
  May 27 14:19:38 matt-VirtualBox avahi-daemon[590]: Interface enp0s3.IPv4 no longer relevant for mDNS.

  
  for no known reason.

  The only reliable way to get the network to come back (that I have
  found) is a full reboot.
