I installed Avast & ran sudo avastgui from terminal (no icons installed anywhere). The GUI came up but terminal showed the following:
dan@DLG-Ubuntu:~$ sudo avastgui
(process:14863): Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by Xlib
(process:14863): Gdk-WARNING **: can not set locale modifiers
It appears to let me scan but before a full scan can complete I get a ‘core dump’ on terminal. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. 
See http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=25533.msg208664#msg208664 to install the icons.
About locale, see http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=20142.msg176534#msg176534
Welcome to avast forums. Like you, I’m on Ubuntu Gusty 7.10 too 8)
Thanks for trying to help. I’m new to Linux & the links provided don’t seem to be of any help. With regard to the icons, the script just throws errors:
dan@DLG-Ubuntu:~$ sudo /usr/lib/avast4workstation/share/avast/desktop/install-desktop-entries.sh install ~/Desktop

I tried all sorts of variations with the same results.
With regard to the locale errors, my system is English, so I don’t know why I’m getting these errors as I assume English is the default. In addition, now every time I try to run Avast it asks for my license key again. ???
An interesting note: My system is dual boot w/Gusty & WinXP. The first full Avast system scan turned up 3 legit viruses on my Windows partitions. I have recently changed my Windows AV from Kaspersky to NOD32. The viruses pre-dated the changeover so Avast caught 3 that where missed by 2 of Avast’s competitors. 
Now I have to rethink my Windows protection scheme as well.
Yes, it is the default. Mine, installed yesterday on Kubuntu Gusty 7.10 is working perfectly.
The icon I’ve created manually.
Which was the file names and paths?
Hi, tech,
I’m using the kurumin linux which it’s the most friendly operational system into the brazilian portuguese I got to use and navigate at the web. First, I used the live cd, but now I shifted to install it inside my hd.I set it up together with windows xp. Now I’m using more linux than windows. It’s beautiful and very stable. I am wonder around a lot of sites with a better faster connection with a clean system. Thumbs up for the linux. it’s great. I am reading the various tutorials about it at http://www.guiadohardware.net and I joined to its forum discussion in order to learn more about it. I’m eager to learm more and more.Thus, I would like to ask if avast linux might work with kurumin linux? Have you ever tried it? Best regards.

Hallo,
as usually, it should work, at least in the case that this 600th (or what’s the exact number of various linux-distributions today) is bug-free :>. So, try it, and when it doesn’t work, please report the output of following commands:
uname -a
ls -l /lib/libc*
file which sh
ldd which sh
and preferably also the version and location (url) of Your installation CD (~ where to get this 601th particular distribution).
regards,
pc
Yes, it worked some time ago when I’ve tested it. Now I’m not with Kurumin distro anymore.
Hi, fyi this is a brazilian linux distro which it came from debian. But if you want to see it (you should understand the brazilian portuguese language) you may link at the developer home page with tutorials, forum and books at the http://www.guiadohardware.net
I installed it in my windows xp and now I’m using more than windows.I have the two operational systems but linux I like best.It’s all friendly and you can use both together.
Best Regards.
I know the distro, I’ve used it.
I’ve change to Kubuntu in Portuguese (Brazilian). Better updates, better community and support.
Hi, tech,
Have you tried the new kurumin 7.0? Because before 7.0 the kurumin was based upon the testing debian and now is based upon the stable debian. The debian forum and the gdh forum has given a great support and all replies are answered within 24 hours at the maximum. Many doubts I diidn’t know I have learned with them and they have a fast support help as you have here. Otherwise, you may read the carlos morimoto tutorials for free, all are super! But if you can spend some money you may purchase his books that are very instructive in the linux field. Best Regards.
For sure. They’ve improved support a lot. I do not doubt is one of the most stable and supported distros in Portuguese. I just ‘run’ to Kubuntu looking for an international distro in Portuguese.
Carlos Morimoto deserves all my respect. World need these kind of people.
