You'll need to take this issue up the makers of Ubuntu MATE which was an unofficial Ubuntu derivative for 14.10.

I will fix this in Ubuntu MATE 15.04.

Excellent!

> Bug description:
> I installed Ubuntu MATE 14.10 on an Acer 1410 and an Acer Aspire One
> 521. In both cases I discovered that other devices on my network could
> only be contacted via SSH using their IP address. The remote device
> name (e.g myLaptop.local) was not recognised either for SSH operations
> or even a ping.

> I checked the Avahi related packages installed on another computer

>
> gnome-user-share
> libavahi-compat-libdnssd1
> libmono-zeroconf1.0-cil
> avahi-discover
> avahi-dnsconfd
>
> I installed these onto both Acer machines using Synaptic and the
> problem was solved on both. All devices on my network from then on
