I've just encountered this issue with Ubuntu 16.04 / avahi-daemon 0.6.32~rc+dfsg-1ubuntu2. I have an AirPort Time Capsule, however the problem is the same - pinging Airport-Time-Capsule.local resolves to an incorrect 169.254.x.x IP address. Now interestingly, none of my other devices (Apple or Android) have issues resolving this hostname. More interestingly, I can successfully resolve hostnames of other Apple devices from Ubuntu, just not the Time Capsule. This suggests there is a specific compatibility issues between avahi and the Apple AirPort's mDNS implementations.
I have a pcap of mDNS traffic after the Time Capsule was power-cycled. Is there anything else I can provide to help? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/896688 Title: avahi provides incorrect IP address to pulseaudio To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/avahi/+bug/896688/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
