Hallo
I got a really surprising failure message for avast. Surprising because I never got any failure messages by avast.
…well, so on.
The failure message is by starting avast as GUI in Ubuntu 9.04:
“Failed to connect to files.avast.com
IP number 1: invalid number”
The effect is that avast do not update the virus list.
…so which one is the valid number? ???
…and where I have to write to the valid number? ???
Have any one an idea?
thanx

Hallo, Zilog!
So, if I have understand you right so I have to copy “sysctl -w kernel.shmmax=128000000” or “echo 128000000 >/proc/sys/kernel/shmmax” in /etc/init.d/rcS. …right?
I tried both solution. But there is no change.
I get the same failure message:
“Failed to connect to files.avast.com IP number 1: Invalid argument”
Any idea?
It’s a command, and you should type it in a terminal, when logged as root. It’s also wise to include those commands to system-wide startup script.
the first one, might need full path to the sysctl binary (/sbin/sysctl), and the second one expects the /proc filesystem to exist (= mounted). So maybe you placed it to wrong place, where this procfs isn’t accessible yet.
