Bus Error - what does this mean ?! ...is this because of kernel 3.14 ?!

Apparently

sudo sysctl -w kernel.shmmax=128000000

is not enough for Kernel 3.14 ?!

I tried then

sudo sysctl -w kernel.shmmax=160000000

and

sudo sysctl -w kernel.shmmax=250000000

But avast gui is breaking off …

and avast commandline has output after

cd /

and after

sudo avast -a > /home/tux/avast-scan-log.txt

like follows :

/usr/bin/avast: line 178: 23956 Bus-access-error (written memory) $AVAST_PREFIX/bin/$programname “$@”

What should I do next ?!

( I had de-installed java-packages and eclipse as well as netbeans for purpose of profound check before this. )

thx for answer.

It is solved simply - because of that 400.vps is getting bigger each time, and we have new version of avast! 1.3.0.5 along with
new Kernel 3.14 (soon 3.15) - which makes necessary to pimp up the size too - also :

sudo sysctl -w kernel.shmmax=128000000

or

sudo /sbin/sysctl -w kernel.shmmax=128000000

is out-dated !

Instead we need to type in terminal :

sudo sysctl -w kernel.shmmax=256000000

or

sudo /sbin/sysctl -w kernel.shmmax=256000000

In case there still pops up an error report like “invalid argument” or similiar … then you download the file 400.vps
manually with :

wget -c http://files.avast.com/files/latest/400.vps

Delete the old 400.vps - file which is already given in /home/$user/.avast
and place the downloaded 400.vps there.

Now it should work really really really !
