Public bug reported: When I boot my server, it doesn't broadcast netatalk services. I have to manually restart avahi with: restart avahi-daemon
Once I do this, the server shows up instantly in the Finder of my Mac. The problem is pretty much exactly the same as reported by the person here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1482573 The only difference is that the person here fixed it by installing packages from Debian Testing, which is something I'm wary of. I added a file /etc/avahi/services/afpd.service, with the following contents: <?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?><!--*-nxml-*--> <!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd"> <service-group> <name replace-wildcards="yes">%h</name> <service> <type>_afpovertcp._tcp</type> <port>548</port> </service> <service> <type>_device-info._tcp</type> <port>0</port> <txt-record>model=Xserve</txt-record> </service> </service-group> And there is no .local domain on my network that is causing problems with avahi starting.
