Comment 1 antonio montagnani 2015-10-23 21:24:39 UTC
when I try to connect to public files on Fujiantonio in Nautilus/Network I get:

Tempo scaduto nel risolvere «_webdav._tcp» per il servizio «antonio's public files on Fujiantonio» sul dominio «local»

Timeout in resolving «_webdav._tcp» for service «antonio's public files on Fujiantonio» on domain «local»

with reference to prevoius comment I cant't connect also from Fujantonio to pcdesktop1 but I can connect to public shares.

But if I restart avahi-daemon on pcdesktop1 it works!!!

Comment 3 antonio montagnani 2015-10-24 06:16:19 UTC
funny:

if I connect using IP's, on top of Vinagre I get antonio@Fujiantonio-Remote desktop viewer, ie names are resoved as expected

Comment 4 antonio montagnani 2015-10-24 06:38:20 UTC
stopping firewall on both machines seems to improve situation

Comment 5 antonio montagnani 2015-10-24 06:41:40 UTC
as soon as I restart firewall I get the usual Fallimento risolutore Avahi: Raggiunto il timeout

Comment 6 antonio montagnani 2015-10-28 09:13:57 UTC
funny test with printer:

1) first test document was printed fine from remote laptop
2) second document after a while it said that same printer is offline and can't be localized,

Firewall are running on both computers...

the only stable setup is to stop firewalld and restart avahi-daemon on the destop (that is a Fedora 18 fedupped through all releases to F22

Comment 7 antonio montagnani 2015-10-28 10:10:40 UTC
at this point, I suppose that component to be blamed is firewalld...waiting for suggestions how to debug

Comment 8 antonio montagnani 2015-10-28 17:17:53 UTC
Created attachment 1087295 [details]
output of iptables -l -n -v

I guess that is a problem with iptables....

Comment 9 antonio montagnani 2015-10-29 08:35:41 UTC
another clue: firewalld.conf has a link to firewalld-workstation.conf on Fujiantonio i.e.

[root@Fujiantonio antonio]# ls -la /etc/firewalld/firewalld.conf
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 26  9 dic  2014 /etc/firewalld/firewalld.conf -> firewalld-workstation.conf

but on the desktop

[root@pcdesktop1 antonio]# ls -la /etc/firewalld/firewalld.conf
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1024 28 ott 16.29 /etc/firewalld/firewalld.conf

please note that desktop has been fedup-ed many times (I think at least from F18)

Comment 10 antonio montagnani 2015-10-29 20:20:07 UTC
some thoughts:

On my small network with 2 Fedoras, one of them is experiencing something that prevents from Public Files sharing connection (Tempo scaduto nel risolvere «_webdav._tcp» per il servizio «antonio's public files on fujitsu» sul dominio «local») but  systemctl restart -l avahi-daemon.service makes it work again (similar issue with desktop sharing)...please note that working with IP is fine..and printer seems not to have any issue (it is the main reason why I changed again the component from firewalld to avahi..). I don't know if avahi crashes completely or it is a malfunction .

This bos has been updated from F18 to F22 at every release of Fedora ;-)

Comment 11 antonio montagnani 2015-10-30 07:24:30 UTC
please note the last lines when I can't connect to the remote desktop fujitsu

Comment 13 antonio montagnani 2015-10-30 07:49:10 UTC
and I find strange that in/etc/avahi/services I have nothing....in particular no udisks.service

Comment 14 antonio montagnani 2015-10-31 21:38:32 UTC
 fresh installation on two machines.
I confirm that when firewall is disabled I can connect to Personal File sharing and Remote desktop using discovered names (and also sftp protocol), but if they are enabled very strange behaviour, no Personal File Sharing, 

Furthermore printer (that is shareable) is never  broadcasted on the network, maybe a separate issue

Comment 15 antonio montagnani 2015-11-04 08:15:56 UTC
now I am running fully updated Fedora 23's

*** Bug 1268602 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 17 Fedora End Of Life 2016-11-24 12:53:37 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '23'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 18 Fedora End Of Life 2016-12-20 15:08:03 UTC
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
