[Bug 1952496] Re: ubuntu 20.04 LTS network problem

[Trent Lloyd]

As a side note, it may be time to switch to a new protocol. As even
Apple has dropped support for sharing AFP versions in the last few
releases and is deprecating it's usage. You can use Samba to do SMBFS
including the extra special apple stuff if you need timemachine support
etc on your NAS

Title:
  ubuntu 20.04 LTS network problem

Status in avahi package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Network afp only partially works. Two tries, Elementary OS 6, Ubuntu
  20.04 installs both have identical problem. Resolved by reinstalling
  Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Using different kernels doesn't matter. Specific
  problem is with afp protocol name resolution. Searching local network
  for ip address using afp://ip_address did connect, but using GUI
  Files/Other Locations/Networks with named hosts will not. Always
  returns can't resolve hostname.local. Tried multiple edits of
  different network files, even installed netatalk in attempts. Again,
  solution is to go back to downgrade, works right out of the box, as
  did on another, and this before upgrade. This was only attempted with
  2 other computers, one mac, one ubuntu/elementary.
