Re: [SOLVED]Printer not getting connected due to some issue in avahi

avahi-daemon reproducibly fails because it lacks access permissions (when called as root) to /etc/passwd
systemd-hostnamed fails because it lacks permissions to libsystemd-shared-251.1-1.so - but only on dbus activation. Otherwise it runs fine.

None of the permission errors can be explained by the file permissions.

This is nuts. Neither makes any sense and the combination even less so.

I'd ask you to try the LTS kernel, but you're already running that.

Let's roll w/ the late crng because of

May 30 19:02:55 Joker kernel: random: dbus-daemon: uninitialized urandom read (12 bytes read)

ok, i saw both the links, but the haveged one, i don't really understand what it is, and the debian page too, what are you trying to say here or you want me to do something??
btw i checked out this post on arch forum ( https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=270948 ) because even i am getting this message on boot ( https://imgur.com/a/m5rVED9 ), i am trying the things mentioned in it, but i don't understand one thing, how do i configure systemd-resolvd for mDNS ? (or is this post irrelevant to my issue?)

what are you trying to say here?

May 30 19:02:55 Joker kernel: random: dbus-daemon: uninitialized urandom read (12 bytes read)

The crng is late and at least affects dbus-daemon. I've no idea whether that's the cause of your situation, but the behavior is so wild that I don't have any rational explanation.
Haveged will provide some early entropy and if you've a qualifying CPU ("grep -i rdrand /proc/cpuinfo") you can also try to pass "random.trust_cpu=on" to the kernel.

Re: [SOLVED]Printer not getting connected due to some issue in avahi

just trying to confirm, should i just make a file in ' /proc/sys/kernel ' with the line ' random.trust_cpu=on '? or should i do it in the grub.cfg file?

Re: [SOLVED]Printer not getting connected due to some issue in avahi

If you are using grub.
You can also just edit the kernel commandline in the boot manager.
And check "cat /proc/cmdline" on whether you succeeded to add it.

Re: [SOLVED]Printer not getting connected due to some issue in avahi

So the crng warnings is gone, but the rest remains the same.
Other then a security layer like firejail or selinux curtailing the access to /etc/passwd I can't explain why avahi fails to start (or rather why that error occurs) … except… maybe…

Re: [SOLVED]Printer not getting connected due to some issue in avahi

avahi is not strictly necessary to print, if you know the IP you can manually add the printer like this:

# lpadmin -p MyPrinter -E -v "ipp://${printer_ip}/ipp/print" -m everywhere

CUPS - ArchWiki

Fixing avahi would still be a good idea.

Re: [SOLVED]Printer not getting connected due to some issue in avahi

It's not only avahi, eg. the dbus activation of hostnamed fails, too and I'm completely out of ideas to explain the weird symptoms.
Since it's impossible to say what further problems will arise from the undiscovered cause, I'd (with some frustration) suggest to wipe the drive and re-install arch… hmm

Re: [SOLVED]Printer not getting connected due to some issue in avahi

The OS, that would be the root and optional boot partition - your $HOME should™ not be relevant since the problem is (so far) w/ system processes.
