[Bug 107791] Re: padevchooser does not start, fails with message ** (padevchooser:12362): WARNING **: pa_browser_new() failed.

[Pablo Di Noto]

Hello,

padevchooser is refusing to start because it relies on Avahi to provide
some network services discovery.

The reason Avahi is not working is explained here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/avahi/+bug/327362

But the short answer is:


# vi /etc/default/avahi-daemon

make sure the line that reads
AVAHI_DAEMON_DETECT_LOCAL=1
becomes
AVAHI_DAEMON_DETECT_LOCAL=0

This change avoids a check done at boot which prevents Avahi from running. For immediate pleasure, do
# /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start

which should start the service without any error. Once Avahi is working, PulseAudio will work as expected.
This last statement is no longer necessary, as the Avahi will now start on each reboot.

Thanks everybody for your work!
///Pablo
