[s3k9]

newbie here
i’m also a linuxt mint 13 user and having problems with installing cavl
it seems that cmdavd, load_cmgdaemon.sh, and load_cmdagent.sh doesn’t recognize linux mint 13 as debian or ubuntu based distritribution from the lines

case $OS in
SUSE)
. /etc/rc.status
;;
Debian|Ubuntu)
. /lib/lsb/init-functions
;;
SliTaz)
;;
*)
. /etc/init.d/functions
;;

the info from $OS is taken from /etc/issue where linux mint 13’s is

Linux Mint 13 Maya \n \l

i’ll try to change Debian|Ubuntu) to Debian|Ubuntu|Mint) and post later if it works

sorry for my english

Happy new year!

[s3k9]

my first try failed

i don’t know “or” for the line Debian|Ubuntu|Mint)

so i just changed the line

for

/opt/COMODO/load_cav.sh
/opt/COMODO/load_cmdagent.sh
/opt/COMODO/load_cmdaemon.sh

also change the line for /opt/COMODO/load_cmdaemon.sh

SliTaz)

    #cd $CHGDIR
    #daemon $PROG_NAME
    start-stop-daemon --start --chdir $CHGDIR --exec $PROG_NAME
    ;;
esac 

hope this help
this is just a work around though because it seems the some of the code in the script still doesn’t recognize linux mint as debian or ubuntu base

Hi s3k9, i tried Your way in linux Mint 13 Maya (with MATE). It works fine till rebooting, then everything is going to previous state. Work around is ok but it’s not making Comodo work as it should…

Hi Fred,

Thanks for your good suggestion. I agree that to give download links for different Linux distributions is better than just give rpm and deb package to let customer to decide which is to be installed. I’ve conveyed the idea to related guy, the change will come soon.

Thanks,
Yanghua

Hello,

I want to complain and suggest something:

On Comodo’s website, when you go to CAVL, it says its compatible to a lot of Linux Distro. But when you click download, you always download .RPM wich is not compatible to most Linux users, specially because Ubuntu is the most used distro, and is the Linux Newbies (like my self) favorite distro.

Most Ubuntu users willl never find the Ubuntu version to download (only in the forum). There should be all the links in the product site to download, and not only with .RPM and .DEB names. It you say the name of the Linux Distro that it is compatible (like Ubuntu users,download this. Fedora users download this).

Or a combo box, where the user select the distro, then starts the download process.

Or for the furutre, make it available on Ubuntu App Store (or whatever is the official name).

Thanks a lot, and keep up the excelent work making the internet safer.

Best Regards,
Fred

Hi Seany007,

12.04 is a LTS version QA tested CAVL on it. You know 12.10 is not a LTS version, but I think it is similar with 12.04, so if you are willing to install CAVL on 12.10, try it!

Thanks,
Yanghua

@Seany007 post:39

I know it support Ubuntu version 12.04 but does it support Ubuntu version 12.10? Thanks.

[Yanghua_Fang]

Hi s3k9,

Thanks for your concentration.
Mint is becoming a more and more popular Linux distribution among programmers and technical geeks.
We will support Mint in version 1.1 in future.
For personal use, you can modify /etc/init.d/cmdavd and /etc/init.d/cmdmgd before new version 1.1.

Thanks,
Yanghua

Hi taleblou,

For Mint support, please refer my reply to s3k9.
To install kernel drivers, we must make sure that accordant kernel headers has been installed.
yum search kernel or apt-cache search kernel to find it.
For example you will find kernel-devel or kernel-headers.
sudo yum install kernel-headers or sudo apt-get install kernel-headers to install it.
Then try sudo ./post_setup.sh again!

Thanks,
Yanghua

Hi:

The issue is still there with comodo linux and linux mint 13. Comodo shows file system filter driver not loaded and when click to fix it it is unable to do that and give the kernel module “redirts.ko” appropriate for your current kernel version does not exist. Please run /opt/comodo/post_setup.sh to install it. Then run /etc./init.d/cmdavd restart command to restart cmdvd service.

I tried it but after rebooting it goes back to this error and it does not fix the issue.

Anyway can someone give me a list of problem free linux antiviruses that work good on mint 13? Thanks in advance.

[Yanghua_Fang]

Hi maglin,

We did full scan on Ubuntu 12.04 again, but could not reproduce the issue you mentioned.
Recently, we fixed a bug in real time scan which may result in OS hang. But I do not know if it is the same root cause of your issue. We will release version 1.1 in future to include the fix.

In fact, CAVL is used for two main purpose:

1. A mail gateway server to provide antivirus and antispam services.
2. A file server, realtime scan is meaning full here to scan antivirus transparently while customer uploading files.
   So if you do not use it as a file server, you can disable realtime scan.

Thanks,
Yanghua

@maglin post:31

Update.

The problem appears to only affect systems with the pae kernel - I have another machine that doesn’t have that kernel - and the scan works fine.

The scan freeze doesn’t always freeze the system - it just prevents shutdown sometimes. I am typing this after scan freeze.

After the scan freeze both cmdagent and cmgdaemon are still running.

I have tried excluding usr/src to avoid the kernel headers - the scan proceeds further, but then froze at usr/share/launchpad

One more point - diagnostics finds no problems.

Further update - this seems strange, but if I exclude /usr the full system scan will run successfully. If I then remove the exclusion I can scan the folder /usr without problem!?

Hi, i’am trying to install kernel headers, but ther is no such package. Through Synpatic i couldn’t find it too. The way s3k9 suggested CAVL is working but agent is not working, even after manual restart it turns off after some time. When it is turned off i couldn’t run any scan without hanging CAVL. Its on Linux Mint 13 Maya 32bit.

No way to make it work as it should?

Thank You in advance.
