[Bug 652870] Re: Avahi update causes internet connetions to fail

[cemlly rios]

I really need to uninstall avahi, It causes heavy slowdowns when
computers of my network try accessing my local webservers. But I still
need wine, that's a real pain. Visit the site to get help

Title:
  Avahi update causes internet connetions to fail

Status in avahi package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm using Lucid with all updates applied as of a week ago. Everthing
  on my system was working fine until this mornings system update.

  Part of the update was patches to Avahi "Version 0.6.25-1ubuntu6.1".
  After reboot, I couldn't get onto the internet.

  When I looked at ifconfig, I normally have eth2 & lo entries. The
  problem seems to be a new eth2:avahi entry that had an IP address
  assigned that isn't in my LAN. The eth2 entry was also there, but
  didn't have an IP.

  I solved this, sort of, by editing /etc/default/avahi-daemon and
  setting AVAHI_DAEMON_DETECT_LOCAL=0 instead of 1. That's a patch I
  found on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1339516 answering
  "How do I disable Avahi??"

  After a reboot, I could connect to the internet again.

  However, some things started behaving strangely. Like the colours of
  everything had changed as though the theme had been changed. Just
  going into the Preferences/Appearance seemed to be enough to fix it -
  I didn't have to click anything else. Very odd. Might be related to a
  different update package.

  FWIW. I don't think I need the avahi services from what I understand
  of it.

  I'm running Ubuntu Lucid within a VMware virtual machine on an XP
  host. It's a laptop, so the network environment does change twice a
  day. But, as I said, everything was stable until this mornings update.

  I've since rolled back to a VM snapshot prior to the update and I'm
  going to delay updates for a little while, but I can reinstate the
  snapshot containing the update if necessary.
