#14163: Endless Avahi system.log errors ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: dersh@alum.mit.edu | Owner: nox@macports.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: avahi ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment (by nodje.co@gmail.com): I'm actually having the same problem. Slightly different though, as it says {{{ Failed to find user 'avahi' }}} this is my system.log trace (repeated every 10s): {{{ 15/02/2008 5:20:43 PM org.freedesktop.avahi-dnsconfd[9213] connect(): No such file or directory 15/02/2008 5:20:43 PM org.freedesktop.avahi-dnsconfd[9213] Failed to connect to the daemon. This probably means that you 15/02/2008 5:20:43 PM org.freedesktop.avahi-dnsconfd[9213] didn't start avahi-daemon before avahi-dnsconfd. 15/02/2008 5:20:44 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (org.freedesktop.avahi- dnsconfd[9213]) Exited with exit code: 1 15/02/2008 5:20:44 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (org.freedesktop.avahi- dnsconfd) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds 15/02/2008 5:20:44 PM org.freedesktop.avahi-daemon[9214] Failed to find user 'avahi'. 15/02/2008 5:20:44 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (org.freedesktop.avahi- daemon[9214]) Exited with exit code: 255 15/02/2008 5:20:44 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (org.freedesktop.avahi-daemon) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds }}} I've launched the command you mentioned but with no effect. In my case it doesn't even mention Dbus not being running. Shall I just create a 'avahi' user and group? How come they could be missing? -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/14163#comment:5> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS
