Hello guys,
I have only been using ubuntu for alittle while & have found it confussing but have managed to get my way around it until this morning. I turned on my computer, it ran smoothly until after I had finished entering my password. The screen then went blank & the following message appeared :

* Starting Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Daemon avahi-daemon

Timeout reached while wating for return value
Could not recieve return value from daemon proccess
(FAIL)

* Starting Common Unix Printing System : cupsd

Any help would be much appreciated

It appears that the avahi-daemon has something to do with your networking. There are at least a couple of threads which mention a problem similar to yours: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-285538.html and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6902803; maybe one of them will help.
