| # Troubleshooting Avahi |
| |
| ## Resetting the cache |
| |
| Avahi keeps a cache of old results. To reset the cache, kill the daemon. It will |
| auto-restart. |
| |
| `sudo avahi-daemon --kill` |
| |
| ## Stopping the daemon |
| |
| If you really want to stop the daemon, killing it is not sufficient because it |
| will just restart. To stop it completely: |
| |
| ``` |
| sudo systemctl mask avahi-daemon.socket |
| sudo systemctl disable avahi-daemon |
| sudo systemctl stop avahi-daemon |
| ``` |
| |
| ## Problem: Failed to create avahi group: Not permitted |
| |
| Avahi is not set up to publish records by default. This has to be explicitly |
| allowed in the config file. In /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf, add the following |
| lines: |
| |
| ``` |
| [publish] |
| disable-user-service-publishing=no |
| ``` |
| |
| Then restart the daemon |
| |
| ``` |
| sudo systemctl restart avahi |
| ``` |
