Hi all, new member here. I’m a long-term Linux user coming from the Ubuntu ecosystem (Kubuntu, neon). I’m trying to get Tumbleweed set up on my new laptop and cant figure out how to get mDNS working on my local network. It doesn’t recognize ‘hostname.local’ for a local system.
DNS with the outside world works fine, and addressing local systems via IP address works of course.
The problem is that I’m not familiar with the OpenSUSE tools and how to configure networking properly.
I’ve done a lot of searching on the topic and haven’t found any clues so far.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
It works exactly the same way as on ask.ubuntu.com using the same Markdown. And some other Ubuntu forums are using Discourse as well, so you should be familiar with it.
Allow mds traffic (mDNS and DNS-SD) through the firewall: sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=mdns sudo firewall-cmd --reload
Avahi hosts should be discoverable after that.
Ubuntu (desktop) does not have any firewall active by default. I am not sure if any firewall utility is even installed by default (I do not count iptables as “firewall utility”).
