avahi fails to start (Solved)

I was fillowing this thread, trying to enable a couple things on my system http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=22266When I try to start the avahi-daemon

/etc/rc.d/avahi-daemon start

the action FAILS.
I can't find any information about this in the forums.
Can anyone offer some advice?
Thx in advance!

Try starting dbus before starting avahi /etc/rc.d/./dbus start.

Re: avahi fails to start (Solved)

I tried both ways, in front and behind dbus, but neither will start avahi.

Am I missing some other service to be started?  The failure is just noted as FAIL without any other information.

Check if pygtk is installed. I had to install it to get avahi working.

Re: avahi fails to start (Solved)

pygtk was installed, thx.

Folling the wiki, it's not clear to me what module should be listed in the MODULES section.  I've tried avahi, and avahi-daemon, but neither seems to work.

Sorry for being obtuse, I'm not trying to be!

Re: avahi fails to start (Solved)

The module is called "capability", if you add that to your modules section then avahi-daemon should hopefully startup without the FAIL error.

I see, I thought capabilty was an adjective as it was used.  I'll give it a try, thx!

Re: avahi fails to start (Solved)

I included

MODULES=( !usbserial capability )

and

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng acpid !hotplug network netfs !crond portmap fam avahi-daemon dbus hal samba cups)

but it still fails.  Not a big deal.  If someone has an idea I'll give it a shot.

Re: avahi fails to start (Solved)

Ok, put avahi-daemon after dbus in your daemons array and see if that works. I'm sure dbus needs to come first then avahi-daemon anywhere after that.
