Public bug reported: On an up to date install of Ubuntu Mate (updated from Beta 2) the command ping name.local (where name is a machine on the local network) results in ping: unknown host name.local
I can ping the machine running Mate from other machines running Ubuntu 12.04 and 14.04 and they can ping each other using name.local, but the Mate machine does not recognise any of the others. On the Mate machine avahi-browse shows all the machines on the network, so I see information such as + eth0 IPv4 name [f0:ad:4e:00:41:33] Workstation local I don't know whether this is a Mate specific issue.
