Can't reach runlevel 5: avahi-daemon fails

baking-a-77 · 05-06-2011, 12:41 PM

Hi,
my Sabayon desktop won't boot into runlevel 5 anymore:

Code:

ERROR: avahi-daemon failed to start

Also can't start avahi manually, verbose mode gives no extra information, debug says: (...)

Code:

* Starting avahi-daemon ...
+ /usr/sbin/avahi-daemon -D
+ eend 1
+ exit 1
* ERROR: avahi-daemon failed to start

(sic)

I suspect this to be related to the hplip drivers I installed before the last reboot, all I did was select the package in sulfur, and as it worked right out of the box, I changed nothing else.
Thank you in advance,
baking-a-77

Hello,

Can you look in /var/log/messages and post us any output related to the avahi daemon? Thanks man.

Sometimes solutions are so simple, straightforward and yet apply so seldom, I don't consider them. Partition was full, grew it, done. Never filled a ~11GB /-partition in two weeks before.
