icon not showing

[ahurd]

I have installed Avast on kubuntu 7.04. After installation I see no evidence of Avast on the desktop,  eg icon on toolbar at bottom or in programs in Kmenu. Could someone help?

These commands will install avast!'s icons&links into the Applications—>Accessories—>avast! Antivirus menu.
cd /usr/lib/avast4workstation/share/avast/desktop && sudo ./install-desktop-entries.sh install

[ahurd]

I did that already to no effect. What to do next?

What the error message did you get?

That is weird, by default an icon for Avast gets installed in Applications -> System -> Security for me.  Running openSUSE 10.3 as my distro and installed it via RPM.

To Tech,
No error message. It immediately went back to the basic command line. I assume the commands were acted upon.

Maybe running:

Code: [Select]

/usr/lib/avast4workstation/share/avast/desktop/install-desktop-entries.shIf this does not work, you can manually create an icon on the desktop... but, ok, it should work automatically.
When I install the deb package it did not create the icon on desktop by default.

This was what was returned:
This script tries to add/remove avast! menu entries for KDE and GNOME
Usage: install-desktop-entries.sh install|uninstall [DESTDIR]

How do I manually create icon? Thanks.

Icon problem solved. Figured out what to do. Just noticed there is no real tine email protection as there is on windows. Any suggestions for a program providing that?

KMail allows plugins for ClamAV and some others.
There isn't a plugin for avast... It's a pity!

If you are going to use clamAV with Kmail make sure that you do one of two things
1) Run freshclam at least once a day (preferably before you check you email if you are paranoid about such things as email virus for Linux)
2) Check to see if your *buntu ships with a freshclam deamon, if so then run that and it will automatically run freshclam every day for you.  If not then I would add it to your cron.
