Two questions I can't find the answer:
1. How can I enter the license as root?
Seems to be the only way of making avast! not asking for the license number any time I start the application.
2. Why does the thorough scanning with archive files checked always stop, for me, at /var/run/dbus/pid and does not show the report?
-
1. I don't understand the question. :)
2. Are you saying it HANGS on this file? Or is the program responsive?
-
1. I don't understand the question. :)
I'll post a screenshot that I see everytime I start avast.
2. Are you saying it HANGS on this file? Or is the program responsive?
Just stop like you see the screenshot. Other programs are running. I can't kill or close avast. No one buttom work. Stop gets 'stopping' forever. Pause pauses but continuing does nothing because the number of tested files stay there in the same, forever.
I don't know how to kill avast... I need to logoff linux to see and post the screenshot.
Wait...
-
After 'crashing' a message about a deleted file appears; Deleted stale lock file '/home/<user>/.vast/lockfile-<user> where <user> is my name.
Besides this one, the other, about avast registration.
Sorry, I'm a newbie when the subject is Linux... learning all the time, frightened and each step... :-[
-
All I can say is that I don't get the license key prompt when I start "avastgui" It seems to be working fine on my machine. Did you install using the the rpm file?
But you can start avast as root in Konsole to get your license key file installed properly.
#su
#password
#avastgui
You may also have a file or folder permission conflict where Avast is installed?

Yes, installation went fine as far I could noticed...

I've installed it at the default folder.
I'll check when I boot Linux later. Now Windows running here ;D
-
Vlk, the problems persists:
1. If the Linux session is being closed - both in root and user account - and avast GUI is opened, next login with show the message Deleted stale lock file '/home/root/.vast/lockfile-root or Deleted stale lock file '/home/<user>/.vast/lockfile-<user>
2. Scanning is halted (GUI cannot be closed, scanning could not be stopped, pause button is not working) both in root and user account as described before.
3. Update works perfectly both in root and user account.

can you try to overwrite installed avast4workstation-1.0.1/lib/avast4workstation/lib/libavastengine-4.so.6.0.2 library with this library version:
http://www2.asw.cz/~mensik/libavastengine-4.so.6.0.7.tar.gz

When I boot on Linux I'll take a look on this... Thanks Dublin. ;)
-
Strange or not, my installation does not have this library, but only libavastengine.so.4.5.12.
How do I update to 6.0.2 version? Sorry for the 'extra' work Dublin.
-
Techie:
Try looking here for the library:
/usr/lib/avast4workstation/lib/
Remove libavastengine-4.so.6.0.2
copy libavastengine-4.so.6.0.7
rename to libavastengine-4.so.6.0.2
-
Remove libavastengine-4.so.6.0.2
But I have only libavastengine.so.4.5.12
Is it the same?
I'm on Windows, need to reboot later. Thanks anyway Culpeper.

I doesn't matter because dublin's suggestion doesn't work. The scanner is still stalling in the same place.

Well... this is funny (or ridiculous) ;D
Dublin, does Alwil want to release the Linux version in other languages? If so, let me know :)
-
;D Maybe!
-
The problem is the "system_bus_socket" file, which is not an actual file but a named pipe. This is what is stalling out the scanner. As mentioned before, Fprot GUI is not having a problem with the /var/run/dbus directory. Just Avast.
-
I have no problem with dbus's pid or socket files!
What's happen, if you try the command-line scanner:
/usr/lib/avast4workstation/bin/avast /var/run/dbus
???
-
There's avast.pot file in the installation package. You can start to translate avast! workstation to you language. ;)
-

I'll try later.

I'll do it as soon as Vlk let me free of ADNM translation ;D

Please, what's happen, if scanning /var/run/dbus directory, if you try this command:
export AVAST_FAILSAFE=1; /usr/lib/avast4workstation/bin/avastgui
-
culpeper@linux:~> export AVAST_FAILSAFE=1; /usr/lib/avast4workstation/bin/avastgui
/usr/lib/avast4workstation/bin/avastgui: error while loading shared libraries: libesmtp.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
culpeper@linux:~>
libesmtp.so.5 is located at /usr/lib/avast4workstation/lib/
-
But libesmtp.so.5.1.4 library should be in /usr/lib/avast4workstation/lib-esmtp directory. Is it there?
-
libesmtp.so.5.1.4 is located at /usr/lib/avast4workstation/lib/
There is no lib-esmtp directory.
-
thx Culpeper, the bug has been found
-
You're welcome
-
can you try fixed library version?
http://www2.asw.cz/~mensik/libavastengine-4.so.6.0.7.tar.gz
-
That new library version works by overwriting it over the old one. In other words, I renamed it to the old library file name. I don't know if this should have been done but it will now scan /var/dbus/
-
There's avast.pot file in the installation package. You can start to translate avast! workstation to you language. ;)
Dublin, can you send me the file through email?
I want to translate it in a Windows computer (comparing to the PC versions).
I think anybody in Alwil has my email address ;D
-
sure thing
