Description Joakim Tjernlund 2014-12-11 22:28:24 UTC 
File->Add Connection gives me:

Error launching connect dialogue: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.Avahi was not provided by any .service files

You only get this if no avahi installed and have dev-libs/dbus-glib installed

This quick patch fixes it:

Comment 1 Greg Turner 2015-01-01 06:58:14 UTC 
I've seen this error, and have dbus-glib w/o avahi like Joakim says.  Haven't had the chance to test the patch yet.
Comment 2 Matthias Maier gentoo-dev 2015-01-01 10:38:48 UTC 
The patch looks good. Can you attach it next time and the "PATCH" keyword?

Fortunately, except for the annoying error message, functionality remains intact, so I've just applied the patch to 1.1.0-r1 and 9999.
