What's causing this AVAHI error

Featured Replies

I was looking at my log and noticed a ton of these lines in my log.  They seem to repeat every 90 seconds.  I don't have any Apple products.  Any idea how I can eliminate these messages?

Hi, I have that same problem. Log file is full after tree days..... any sugestion?

  • 5 months later...

I just installed Beta 30 and I'm getting this error now. So many "not fitting in legacy unicast packet, dropping." messages filling up my logs. I do have a CUPS docker installed that has Airprint on it and a single Mac in the household.

I just hat the same problem and could solve it by disabling IPv6. This seems somehow related to a loopback issue where avahi tries to reflect the packets on a broadcast but sets the interface attribs to loopback
