Tried to browse services with avahi-browse -alr:

Failed to create client object: Daemon not running

And actually there is a problem with the avahi daemon:

● avahi-daemon.service - Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Stack
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/avahi-daemon.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2015-09-16 08:50:23 CEST; 4s ago

Ubuntu 15.04. So, logs show nothing. What can be done?

update

Today logs show Failed to create server: Invalid domain name. The search can begin.

  • Since I am not allowed to comment: What does starting the service manually (from the command line, as the user avahi) say? as root: su - avahi /usr/sbin/avahi-daemon -s

  • That command doesn't work: su: option requires an argument -- 's'. I tried su - avahi '/usr/sbin/avahi-daemon -s': nothing happens, no logs, exit status is '1'. Same for su - avahi /usr/sbin/avahi-daemon

My avahi-daemon.conf is messed up and know why...

Anyways, domain-name is set to alocal, possibly in the panic to fix some samba share problems.
