Antivir-gui

in opensuse 10.3 i installed antivir-gui 2.1.10.15 and then when it finished antivir 2.1.10.15 was in the installed software as well... i guess both needed be be installed.. i changed the avguard.conf file like it said to in the readme file
on the second line to
# enable and configure GUI support yes

when i search for the antivir in search-tools i click on each one, nothing happens... how do i run antivir or get it to run?

is there a GUI interface?

whats next?

thanks

have you tried tryping antivir in a console? if not as just a user, open a console then try as su. just a thought.

i guess the program needs a new key and viruses are out dated needs to be updated but i cant access and change the permission on the hbedv.key file in usr/lib/antivir.. it needs to be updated by a newer hbedv.key file i downloaded from Avira AntiVir website.. i cant copy the new file into the antivir folder , says do not have permission to write to this folder..

i dont know how to change the permission in the file i tried
:usr/lib/antivir # chmod 777 hbedv.key
how do i change permissions? cant change anything in the permission tab

whether this will cause any system risk changing permissions for this i dont know, so i'll accept no responsibility if it does, i'll just tell you how to change permissions.

for full read write access for everyone open a console, log in as root and type

chmod 777 /usr/directory/to/file/file.key

have a read of this pdf i found useful. read it first.


sounds like program needs a new key, i don't use any anti virus so i dont know but just thought typing antivir would have been a shot (since some program i install don't appear in kmenu, so using command you can add them easy enough.

I've also had problems getting antivir to work in the past but the problems were mainly associated with the dazuko kernel module. Perhaps take a look here,

These days I use AVG for Linux available from here

and run it as either manually or on a schedule.

i replaced the key with

sudo chown -R (my username) /usr/lib
it will scan when i type in
# antivir

i open a terminal typed su then my password
after that typed:

# antivir-gui

ill get this in a terminal:

WARNING: root is not in a 'antivir' group

libxcb: Warning! program tries to unlock a connection without having acquired a lock first, which indicates a programing error.
there will be no further warnings about this issue.
libxcb: WARNING! program tries to lock an already locked connection, which indicates a program error.
there will be no further warnings about this issue.

then my antivir gui interface will open


if i open in a terminal not signed in as root and type

~> anti-gui

i get:

my username is not in antivir group

libxcb: Warning! program tries to unlock a connection without having acquired a lock first, which indicates a programing error.
there will be no further warnings about this issue.
libxcb: WARNING! program tries to lock an already locked connection, which indicates a program error.
there will be no further warnings about this issue

then antivir-gui interface opens

but if i type in a terminal:

# groupadd antivir
groupadd: group antivir already exits

should i be seeing a warning?!
what step did i miss? am i supposed to be in a group, how?

i get:

my username is not in antivir group

This means you need to add yourself to the antivir group.

This warning is related to java's awt library. This is not a problem at all. If you are really bothered by this message, there are ways to sort it out (but it implies editing awt's shared library using sed): do a search in this very same forums.
