Hi, Yesterday (Nov10th) I followed the excellent guide on how to install AVG for Linux. (I am running Ubuntu 7.10.) As a relative newbie to Linux it was the best guide I have seen especially as all the 'errors' that might be encountered were also covered ... however with regard to the UPDATE of the AVG, will I have to continue to do manual updates in order to overcome the avg7info.ctf error, or have I missed a trick somewhere along the line ? I ask this because this morning 11th.Nov, the same error happened when I pressed the 'check for updates'. I would appreciate someones assistance on this as I would prefer the updates to run 'automatically' as they do on my non-ubuntu PC. Cheers, Radiolad
You could create a cron job that calls /opt/grisoft/avg7/bin/avgupdate. E.g. Code: 0 12 * * * /opt/grisoft/avg7/bin/avgupdate would call /opt/grisoft/avg7/bin/avgupdate each day at 12:00h.
Updating AVG Does Not Work Falco: I followed your excellent tutorial on installing AVG and needed every error message workaround. However, I come to a halt when it comes to the updates. Service/program settings does not launch to allow me to manually update. Neither can I scan from the Test button. I am at a loss as to how to launch the update file? I have attempted to right click the file and open with Grisoft, but that doesn't work either. I am using Klikit (www.klikit.org), a Kubuntu/Feisty distro. Suggestions? Gray Wolf
Update AVG in Klikit/Kubuntu Achtung: Ich bin ein noob! I receive the following: usage: /opt/grisoft/avg7/bin/avgupdate [OPTIONS] [PATH|LIST] OPTIONS: -o, --online online update from Internet -f, --offline offline update from PATH or LIST -d, --download download update files -s, --antispam antispam update from Internet -p, --priority NUM NUM represents type of update 2 - priority update 3 - recommended update 4 - optional update -c, --config FILE use ohter config file -t, --daemon-pid FILE file with AVG daemons group pid -i, --no-diff ignore binary diff files -b, --no-backup do not create backup files -n, --no-progress do not display progress information -l, --no-log do not create log file -a, --no-daemons do not restart deamons -m, --complete only complete updating files -r, --restore restore previous version -v, --version display version -h, --help display this help end exit PATH : directory with update files LIST : list of update files separated with space root@Sony630G:/home/apg#
Can you try to run that command again as your desktop user instead of root? Code: su name_of_user /opt/grisoft/avg7/bin/avgupdate
