SUBJECT: Cannot register - No such file or directory: '' 

	Hi, 

	I’m trying to register on http://avahi.org/register [1] so I can
raise a ticket about heaps of msgs like: 

	 

	Jul 27 09:47:04 ausyvutims2 avahi-daemon[748]: Invalid response
packet from host 10.64.100.22. 

	Jul 27 09:47:04 ausyvutims2 avahi-daemon[748]: Invalid response
packet from host fe80::11a1:9272:c6ac:23a1. 

	 

	in Ubuntu 14.04 syslog. The bad packets seem to be coming from a
Windows 10 pre-release build 10240 machine. 

	 

	When I try to register, using Internet Explorer 9, I get: 

	Trac detected an internal error: 

	IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ''

	  

	Can some-one please help me register?

	 

	Regards,

	Chris Good

	 

	 

	The avahi-daemon problem seems to be http://avahi.org/ticket/352
[2] which doesn't seem to have seen any action in 4 years.

	If you search for this problem on the internet there are heaps of
people complaining about it, and some patches also.

	Eg https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/avahi/+bug/1342400 [3]

	I'm seeing these apparently bad packets come from a Windows 10
pre-release build 10240 machine. I guess I'm going to see a lot more
with Windows 10 being offically released on 29/7/2015.

	Turning off IPv6 (leaving IPv4 on), on the Windows 10 machine stops
the messages in my Ubuntu servers syslogs, but I cannot do that on
every machine on the subnet.

	I've got tcpdump's if anyone wants them?

	Regards,

	Chris Good
