Greetings!
Hope you are having a Great 2024!
Is there anyone on this site that has ClamAV and ClamTK installed and working effectively?
I have ClamAV and ClamTK installed. I cannot get the software working.
Logged queries on Linux.org - receiving progressive support - no solution yet.
Logged query with GitHub ClamAV - no response.
Logged query with LinuxQuestions.org - no response.
Please advise.
I don't use clam or any other anti-virus apps, but you didn't stated what's wrong?
I have it installed and it works. What for a Problem do you have?
Thanks for your response.
Executed the code:
sudo touch /var/log/freshclam.log
System requested my password and then did not process any further.
guy@guy-Aspire-A515-52:~$ sudo touch /var/log/freshclam.log

Please advise.
Just so you know I am a complete Newbie to Linux!
But willing to learn.
Thanks.
Thanks for your response.
Can you see my reply to Ponce-De-Leon?
I'm not long on Linux, too. I don't know what You want to do with Your Command but it seems that Your Path is not right. I looked in my System and the freshclam.log File have the following Path:
/var/log/clamav/freshclam.log
Thanks for your response.
Let me try your file path. I will keep you informed.
Entered the code twice with the result:
guy@guy-Aspire-A515-52:~$ sudo touch/var/log/clamav/freshclam.log
[sudo] password for guy:
sudo: touch/var/log/clamav/freshclam.log: command not found
guy@guy-Aspire-A515-52:~$ sudo touch/var/log/clamav/freshclam.log
sudo: touch/var/log/clamav/freshclam.log: command not found
guy@guy-Aspire-A515-52:~$
Please advise further.
It's
touch /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log
No need for sudo and there's space between touch and /var/...
Thanks for your recent response. I will try "touch /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log".
Will keep you informed.
To make sure that my OS is updated. Executed the following code:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
The result had the following error message:
Setting up zorin-os-desktop (1.6.5) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
** clamav-daemon**
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
guy@guy-Aspire-A515-52:~$
Could this be my real system issue?
Please advise.
Uninstall clam, reboot and then try again. Seems that clam-daemon making a fuss in the background. You can always re-install it afterwards.
This is the result when executed code:
touch /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log
guy@guy-Aspire-A515-52:~$ touch /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log
touch: cannot touch '/var/log/clamav/freshclam.log': No such file or directory
guy@guy-Aspire-A515-52:~$
Please advise.
ls -a /var/log/clamav
See if there's actually any files there.
Yes, it should be save to do so.
Thanks for your response. Executed code:
ls -a /var/log/clamav
Result is:
guy@guy-Aspire-A515-52:~$ ls -a /var/log/clamav
ls: cannot access '/var/log/clamav': No such file or directory
guy@guy-Aspire-A515-52:~$
Please advise.
Try check via file-browser where the path leads to or as close you can get.
Thanks for your response. I will inform you when I have uninstalled the packages and restarted my system.
Packages uninstalled. Restarted system. Executed code below:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
Result with no errors:
guy@guy-Aspire-A515-52:~$ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
