I have the slightest idea. But, it should be sudo avastgui not avastgu

sudo avastgu 

you must be the very same user who owns the X Windows screen (thus, use avast cmdline version, when sudoing), OR, issue “xhost +” to allow root’s app to draw on your screen too, OR, simply log-in as root into the X Windows.
