I also get:
till@till-x1carbon:~$ hostname -I
192.168.0.15 192.168.122.1 2804:14c:5ba8:8b97::1
2804:14c:5ba8:8b97:205:1bff:feb0:7395 fd00:1:1::1
till@till-x1carbon:~$ hostname -A
till-x1carbon till-x1carbon till-x1carbon till-x1carbon
ippusbxd-printers
till@till-x1carbon:~$
Does this mean that the first 4 IPs have the host name till-x1carbon
and the address fd00:1:1::1 has the host name ippusbxd-printers?
"ping ippusbxd-printers" pings the address fd00:1:1::1.
The man page states for -A: "Do not make any assumptions about the
order of the output."
It simply means that there are a few names you can use *locally* to
refer to this system; one of which being "ippusbxd-printers"; as
discovered by looking at each configured interface and resolving the
address. Nothing more.
Any service that needs to listen to things and care about hostname will
need to ask the system on its own what the hostname should be. This is
typically done using gethostname() (and it looks like that's what avahi
is doing), or looking at files such as /etc/hostname, or asking a daemon
like systemd-hostnamed. The closer approximation on the command-line
would probably be "getent hosts fd00:1:1::1", but it won't help you if
that's not what avahi cares about.
Problems:
1. I would like to assign the name by Zeroconf and not by modifying
/etc/hosts. How can I do this.
2. Bonjour/Avahi broadcasting still does not work correctly.
I still register via
error =
avahi_entry_group_add_service_strlst(bonjour_data->ipp_ref,
(int)if_nametoindex("ippusbxd"),
AVAHI_PROTO_UNSPEC, 0,
dnssd_name,
"_ipp._tcp", NULL, NULL, 60000,
ipp_txt);
Set something other than NULL as the "host" parameter? (the second NULL
in that call)
but the "Address:" entry in the Bonjour record visible in
avahi-discover (Interface: ippusbxd -> local -> Internet Printer)
still uses the wrong host name:
Address: till-x1carbon.local/fd00:1:1::1:60000
It should be
Address: ippusbxd-printers/fd00:1:1::1:60000
How can I fix this?
I expect that will be fixed when you specify a hostname as you register
the service. Otherwise, NULL just tells avahi to use the hostname it
already knows, which will be what gethostname() returns.
I have tried this one
error =
avahi_entry_group_add_service_strlst(bonjour_data->ipp_ref,
(int)if_nametoindex("ippusbxd"),
AVAHI_PROTO_UNSPEC, 0,
dnssd_name,
"_ipp._tcp", NULL, "ippusbxd-printers", 60000,
ipp_txt);
end it returns error code -3.
As I told already earlier, I have assigned the host name
"ippusbxd-printers" to the IPP address fd00:1:1::1 in /etc/hosts and
Firefox and CUPS resolve this host name correctly.
