opensuse leap 42.1 live with clamscan

English Applications
1

Hello all. I want to be able to run a Opensuse Leap 42.1 KDE live dvd with clamscan. This live DVD would be unaffected by any hidden linux viruses. I want to use clamscan on an installed linux system and on another persons mswin machine.

I need to know what I need to do. On the software page, i’v found the rescue and KDE LIVE DVD.

Thanks.

There is no LEAP 42.1 live DVD. If you want to use clam, download https://www.system-rescue-cd.org/Download and scan using that.

3

I downloaded boot repair and the rescue CD off opensuse downloads. I’ll check it out.

4

I read the manual. I can’t get clamscan or freshclam to work. I enter this at the terminal in GUI mode.

freshclam
‘command not found’

clamscan
‘command not found’

??

Hi
Then it’s not installed…(clamav and clamav-database)? AFAIK, freshclam needs to be run as root user to update the database…

6

How do I do that?

su -c "zypper --non-interactive install clamav;chkconfig freshclam on;freshclam;exit"

It is shielded so no one can login while i’m working? Is this right?

7

Hi
Try;


su -c "zypper --non-interactive install -f clamav clamav-database;systemctl enable freshclam;systemctl enable clamd.service;systemctl start clamd.service;freshclam;exit"

I would have thought you need the clamd service?

clamscan mentions this. What is it?

Hi
It’s the clamav daemon for things like realtime scanning on mail etc

You mean linux mail servers? not webmail.

The boot shows “cache all files”. I selected the first option. If I want it live do I need to select “cache all files” (in memory)?

At the login, I used “startx” to get the GUI. The terminal when I entered “su” nothing happened. Does the terminal start in superuser mode? Is there any difference between the GUI terminal and the one on bootup?

Thanks.

Hi
Yes for linux mail servers (eg postfix)…

Not sure, but if live try it with cache files…

It’s a command line tool, so either should work fine? What prompt do
you see a red #, if so that’s at root user. Can you not just switch to
root user with su - and run the command(s)?

System rescue disk:

zypper gives ‘command not found’. I guessed ‘Install clamav’, gives ‘not enough disk space’.

KDE LIVE

Trying to use ‘zypper in clamav’, it gives me 850+ megs of files in addition. (Slow connection so that not practical.)

Now what??

Hi
I guess the KDE live build is crippled if zypper not there… I run a
13.2 rescue CD on a usb device works fine to install things on, just
runs an old kernel.

I would head over to SUSE Studio and build yourself some that works on
USB devices along with all the tools you need.

I have to make ANOTHER username and password??

Is there a way I can update my KDE Live disk? System rescue is just out of date? What other live dvd are there? I need a secure DVD clean of viruses (read only) to do clamscan.

15

I can’t get system rescue disk to run clamscan. I’m going to put this problem away for a while. For, i’m just going to figure out how to install opensuse on a flash drive. Then run clamscan from there. Thanks to all.

I installed opensuse to flash drive, making it bootable. I will be able to able do a anti-virus scan on the installed drive from the booted flash drive. I’v have the solution I need. Thanks for the help all.
