AVG Installation

jacaré · 07-20-2010, 07:24 AM

Had some problems with Clam/Klam AV, so tried to install AVG, but the installation failed. I received the following notice board when trying to de-install AVG:

Subprocess failed. Error: RPM non riuscito:/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.63199: line 4: /opt/avg/avg8/etc/init.d/avgdinit.conf: No such file or directory
error: %preun(avg85flx-r812-a3371.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 1

What can I do now?

I work on OpenSUSE 11.1 KDE/4.

Thanks

Why do you need AVG? Seems like if your system has a bug it would be dead before avg started am I missing something Is OpenSUSE differnt from other Linux Distros? AVG loads down Windows Adds too much Junk Why would anyone want that on your system??

I went to
http://free.avg.com/it-it/download.prd-afl

and downloaded the AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition for Linux
(avg85flx-r812-a3371.i386.deb)

I had clam but it was not working any more, maybe a bug in the system, ok. My colleague suggested me to substitute it with AVG yet now I cannot take it out any more, yast2 says that it cannot remove it and i cannot intall a new version as it seems it is installed already, but that's untrue...

.deb??? these are for debian based systems.
try the .rpm version for suse.
check the link i gave...

Code:

wget http://download.avgfree.com/filedir/inst/avg85flx-r812-a3371.i386.rpm

--

Code:

rpm -ivh --test avg85flx-r812-a3371.i386.rpm

or just
test first

Code:

rpm -ivh --test http://download.avgfree.com/filedir/inst/avg85flx-r812-a3371.i386.rpm

if no errors run the above command again without --test

you would have been better off showing us what your errors with clamav were. although i can kinda guess...

I did it, yet it's not working again...
Maybe the best thing to do is to cancel and re-install the whole system, is there a way to do it by terminal?

Restoring is always the best way when there are several things which are working improperly on a system...

it simply did not remain on the desktop, the program was running but the window did not open! Kind of bigger bug somewhere, I know...

I thought Linux doesn't need antivirus software.

i use Clam to keep me XP disk clean . It has in the past found things that Norton missed avg free is now on the seldom used windows hard drive.

there is also the use of AV software if you DL a bunch of things on the amule network -- there are A LOT of windows.exe files hidden in them

errore: omissione http://download.avgfree.com/filedir/...a3371.i386.rpm - trasferimento fallito - Errore sconosciuto o inaspettato

It says error: omission http://download.avgfree.com/filedir/...a3371.i386.rpm - transfer failed - unknown or unexpected error

After twice setting and restoring the system boot (problems apparently repaired in cups-hal-ntp-postfix)

ok wget this file..

Code:

wget http://download.avgfree.com/filedir/inst/avg85flx-r812-a3371.i386.rpm

one you have pulled this down, test to see if install will work.

Code:

rpm -ivh --test avg85flx-r812-a3371.i386.rpm

if this runs with no major error, then rerun omitting the --test option.
if you cannot pull the file down using wget, then the firewall or something is blocking the access..
