[Bug 1799265] Re: avahi-daemon high cpu, unusable networking

[Matt]

Ok, ignore previous post. My laptop was sitting unused and suddenly I
hear the fans spin up (which they almost never do). Sure enough, the
avahi-daemon was running up a full cpu core. I've attached the logs.

Thanks for looking into it.

Title:
  avahi-daemon high cpu, unusable networking

Status in avahi package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Currently running Kubuntu 18.10, Dell XPS 13 9350

  Since updating from Kubuntu 18.04 to 18.10, the avahi-daemon has been
  consistently hampering network performance and using CPU for long
  periods of time.

  When booting machine from off state, avahi-daemon uses an entire CPU
  at max load for approx 10 minutes. During this time, internet
  connectivity via wifi is essentially unusable. The wifi connection is
  good, but it seems that http transactions are cutoff mid-way so no
  webpage is able to load.

  When waking from sleep, the avahi-daemon causes similar symptoms, but
  with less than 1 full cpu usage, and with somewhat less degraded
  network performance, but still quite unusable.

  I have never had issues with avahi prior to the 18.10 upgrade, so I am
  fairly confident the issue is rooted in that change.
