opensuse leap 42.1 live with clamscan

**lord_valarian** · 11-Mar-2016, 15:57

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.

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

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....

How do I do that?

Code:

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?

Hi
Try;

Code:

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.
