Title: Not Functioning in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Post by: lee_stevetk on May 10, 2012, 03:11:55 PM

I have installed Avast! on my PC with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS installed.  Installation (through Ubuntu Software Centre) was successful, but when I start avast! by clicking on its icon in the unity menu, nothing appears, no even after reboot.

Thanks for helping.

open a terminal and start it from there, then paste the output of the error here, maybe someone will figure out what is wrong with it

I followed your advice to the other user and ran avastgui in the terminal; I received the following error:
