avast! engine failed to reinitialize after database upgrade

Hello,

I’m using ubuntu 10.10, avast4workstation works fine on it, but after a daily database upgrade process, a window pops up and say:“avast! engine failed to reinitialize after database upgrade. The application will terminate now.” Then the avast! terminates. The problem remains after I delete the .avast folder in my home directory. Why this happen? Please help, Thanks.

Hello,

I managed to let this command “sysctl -w kernel.shmmax=128000000” to execute automatically as root when ubuntu booted.

You can place "sysctl -w kernel.shmmax=128000000“ (without quotes) to /etc/crontab to have them set automatically as root (just after boot).

in /etc/crontab:

@reboot root sysctl -w kernel.shmmax=128000000

Hope that helps, thanks.
