Raspberry Pi Forums

Hi,

Since I am on Windows 10 with my notebook I got the following flooding my syslog when I am connected via ssh to the PI2 (latest firmware and raspbian wheezy) 192.168.2.124 is the ip of my Windows 10 Notebook.
Can someone help me on this or got an idea?

It's a known, but unresolved bug in Avahi.
http://avahi.org/ticket/352

There also doesn't seem to be any simple way to disable the logging.

thx for the info

Ubuntu seems to have a patch:

Any update on this?
i have a syslog filled with these

Sep 14 07:41:22 pi-server avahi-daemon[2628]: Invalid response packet from host 192.168.1.15.
Sep 14 07:41:47 pi-server avahi-daemon[2628]: Invalid response packet from host 192.168.1.15.
Sep 14 07:41:51 pi-server avahi-daemon[2628]: Invalid response packet from host 192.168.1.15.

someone here mentioed having a script to copy the log, get rid of the lines then put the log back? (bottom post)

any on have any scripts to clear them out of the log?

i think this will actually do it...
someone correct me if im wrong

should remove all lines containing 'Invalid response packet from host' from /var/log/syslog if you want to create a backup of the syslog first you can use this will create a syslog.bak file before making the changes
and then run as a cronjob or add a script into /etc/cron.hourly/

Or you could do this and black hole the crap (just sayin)

add this to /etc/rsyslog.conf (and yes I know the &~ is deprecated but using the newer stop seems to stop all logging) and then run sudo /etc/init.d/rsyslog restart and check your log files.

if $fromhost-ip == '127.0.0.1' then {
if $msg contains_i "Invalid response packet from host" then action(type="omfile" file="/dev/null")
&~
}

Your fix worked like a charm. Thanks!
