I have seen this in about 20 Lubuntu/Ubuntu 16.04 installations dist upgraded to 18.04 Also it works in some others..
I did NOT see this prior to avahi-daemon version 0.70 No idea what breaks it, however avahi-browse seams to work. Can it be something related with the support for "binary records" starting in 0.7x In a fresh 18.04 installation MDNS in general seams to be broken/disabled -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1813112 Title: avahi-discover failed to display selected service details with UnicodeDecodeError To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/avahi/+bug/1813112/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
