Hi

The first thing you have to update your Ubuntu machine and when you update complete successfully.

Then launch your avast anti virus again.it will work fine,if it does not start working.

Then you have executed this command in your terminal.

This command will not display the graphical view of the avast but will start your avast in the background, and will also update your Ubuntu. Bash script is below

#!/bin/sh
echo "33[0;34mProceeding to wipe your memory, swap and free space.

Please be warned that this is time consuming and may take hours.33[0m"
echo
echo "33[0;31mWiping memory.33[0m"
sudo smem -lv
echo "33[0;32mMemory wiped.33[0m"
echo "33[0;31mWiping swap.33[0m"

#Please run "cat /proc/swaps" to determine your mounted swap devices and customize the following line for your machine.

sudo swapoff /dev/sda5
sudo sswap -llv /dev/sda5
sudo swapon /dev/sda5
echo "33[0;32mSwap wiped.33[0m"
echo "33[0;31mWiping free space.33[0m"
sudo sfill -llv /home/
echo "33[0;32mFree space wiped.33[0m"

Hope this could work.

Open up terminal and type the following:

Code:

Type the password and gedit will open the file.

Add the following comment below the line starting with #

For example,

# rcs

#

# Call all S??* scripts in / etc/ rcS .d / in numerical/alphabetical order

#

sysctl -w kernel.shmmax=100000000

Then save the file, open in gedit and close the window.

Restart computer and log into your user account.

Fire up terminal again.

Code

 Better luck !!!

Hello,

Let me try to solve your problem. Run 'sudo sysctl kernel.shmmax' and note the value. The default should be something like 33554432. Now double that initial value with 'sysctl -w kernel.shmmax=$[33554432*2]' and try running your avast antivirus once again.

If it works (worked for me) then the issue will be solved. If it doesn't work try multiplying the initial value until you can run your avast antivirus. If you want to make the value stick on reboot add it to /etc/sysctl.conf or any other local init script that gets run on boot. I hope this solution will help you.

Regards.

Hi!

The problem caused of because the Avast which you have Is older version.

1. First of all click on the start button and click on the internet explorer.
2. Then internet explorer will open, and then type latest Avast versions in the Google.
3. The latest Avast versions of Google will be appearing.
4. Then try to download the latest and updated version of the Avast.
5. When you download the latest version of Avast then install it to you machine.
6. When it's installed it will work good.
7. Or you may have to reinstall the Ubuntu 9.10 version.

This may solve the problem.

Thank You.
