Software :: Freshclam Will Not Fetch Updates - Uses Wrong DNS
May 16, 2011
On a new machine (Ubuntu 10.04.2), the freshclam program (in the package clamav-freshclam version 0.96.5+dfsg-1ubuntu1.10.04.2) won't do updates. It fails on DNS queries. DNS is working for other programs OK. Diagnosis with tcpdump shows that it is sending the queries to 127.0.0.1 instead of the actual DNS servers designated in the /etc/resolv.conf file. Of course it won't get an answer because it is querying the wrong IP address. There is a --no-dns option which I tried, but that doesn't help. Any idea if freshclam or clamav needs its own config of DNS servers?

On a new machine running Ubuntu 10.04.2, the freshclam program (in clamav-freshclam version 0.96.5+dfsg-1ubuntu1.10.04.2) won't do updates to the database. It fails on DNS queries. DNS works OK for other programs. The tcpdump command shows that it sends the queries to 127.0.0.1 instead of the correct DNS servers specified by /etc/resolv.conf. Of course it doesn't get an answer because it is asking the wrong IP address.
There is also a --no-dns option, but that didn't help/
Do I need to tell ot what the DNS servers are, somewhere?
Why would it query only 127.0.0.1 for DNS?

I'm unable to install updates and new packages. I receive messages such as the following:
W: Failed to fetch [URL] 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.161 80]
W: Failed to fetch [URL] 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.161 80]
W: Failed to fetch [URL] 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.161 80]
I recently had windows vista taken off my hard drive and my partitions realigned to create more storage space on my hard drive. I don't now if this is related. I was able to install upgrades previously.

Lately when I've tried to update my packages many of them don't update. I get nothing out of the ordinary when using the terminal but when I try to update via the Update manger I get this error message:
Code:
Error message:
Fetch failed: W:Failed to fetch bzip2:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/mirror.steadfast.net_debian_dists_testing_main_source_Sources Hash Sum mismatch

[Code]...
I've tried several different mirrors but get the same error with every one. Same result with ftp as well. Yesterday I upgraded to Wheezy and every package successfully upgraded, but today the problem started again.

I have installed my first Ubuntu server today. It is connected to our corporate network. On this network there is a Windows 2008 R2 server that serves as DNS Exchange and file server. For some unknown reason this Windows server looses network connection when the ubuntu server comes online. After some investigation the network connection is instantly restored when I stop the clamav-freshclam service on the ubuntu server. When I start the service the network connection of the Windows server goes down.The only "link" with the Windows service and the Ubuntu server is that the Windows server is configure as the nameserver on the ubuntu server.
I want to run this in production because the ubuntu will serve as anti-spam server. I need to understand what is happing and why to prevent this.

I got my version of clamav working and it's fully updated. Problem is I can't seem to get my LibClamAV to function correctly. The output of #freshclam works But when I do: #service clamd.amavisd restart
This is the error:
LibClamAV Warning: ***********************************************************
LibClamAV Warning: *** This version of the ClamAV engine is outdated. ***
LibClamAV Warning: *** DON'T PANIC! Read http://www.clamav.net/support/faq ***
LibClamAV Warning: ***********************************************************
My version is updtodate and I am unsure why the error. I am using amavisd-new-2.5.2 (20070627) and Clamav 0.95.3

I can install clamav from SBo no problem, but the version is outdated. I downloaded the newer source code from clamav's site, edited the slackbuild to reflect the new version number, and rebuilt the package. But I get this following error when building.
Config files are installed in the proper places (except the file /etc/clamd.conf.rej referred to below which doesn't exist). But the binaries clamd and freshclam aren't installed anywhere.
Code:
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/SBo/clamav-0.96.5/test'
Making all in clamdtop
make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/SBo/clamav-0.96.5/clamdtop'

When I log on a root and attempt to issue the command Freshclam to upgrade the virus definitions it attempts or create a new file with a definition name. I get a message stating that the directory isnt writable. The user and group access rights are as follows:
USER = read, write, execute
Group = read, write, execute
All= read, execute.
The only way I can get around this is by applying a 777 which would be read, write and execute for all. Now, I have a group define with several user ids in it including Root.How do I connect the group with the directory/file so I dont have to apply a 777 access right to group users could issue the Freshclam command.

Is set up a postfix, dovecot + clamav server as described in the wiki. I also use the freshclam update script in /etc/cron.daily/freshclam. But my problem is i get this error message every day:
/etc/cron.daily/freshclam:

I have installed ClamAV 0.95.3 into Ubuntu 9.10 (i386) fully patched
I am behind an authenticating proxy, so I've entered these details into freshclam.conf:
HTTPProxyServer myproxy.com
HTTPProxyPort 1234
HTTPProxyUsername myusername
HTTPProxyPassword mypass
code....
So I changed the perms to 0700 (user is clamav).
Now I get:
$ sudo freshclam
ERROR: Can't open/parse the config file /etc/clamav/freshclam.conf
I checked DNS resolution with this (which I found in a thread somewhere):
# host database.clamav.net
database.clamav.net is an alias for db.local.clamav.net.
db.local.clamav.net is an alias for db.other.clamav.net.
db.other.clamav.net has address 193.1.193.64
db.other.clamav.net has address 130.59.10.36
- I presume the installation can find the update site?

For some reason Update Manager is not installing updates as of yesterday.I have it set to check daily and notify if updates are available. It has been working without issues for well over a year now.
Update Manager tells me updates are available and presents the list of security, recommended, and other updates. All are selected to update, but when I select Install Updates in Update Manager it returns with a Reading Package Information window overlaid on the main Update Manager window - building dependency tree then reading state information and dumps me back to the main Update Manager window without performing any update actions.

I just learned that warsow 0.6 is out, and went to see if it was available in the ubuntu software center yet, as opposed to going and downloading and installing it manually from the warsow website. The ubuntu repo's still have version 0.5, and at the bottom of the page it says:
"Updates: Canonical does not provide updates for Warsow. Some updates may be provided by the Ubuntu community."
So if I wanted to 'update' this item in the repo's for the better of the community what would that entail?

There are some updates in the Update Manager list which I do not install. Among them, some drivers for HP Printers (I don't know why this cropped up; I don't even use printers on my laptop), and gcj updates (I use gcc/g++ but not gcj). I unchecked them the first time I saw them on my UM list. However, for every subsequent batch of new updates, UM retains these updates and I need to uncheck them every time. How can I remove them totally from my UM list?

I have a few mp3 files which are not tagged. Winamp has a nice feature which I think is called "autotag" and which is very good at finding out artist and title for files. I'd like something like this for unix, so that I could possibly get artists and titles for my untagged files. Do you know some program which does this?

So, it is my understanding that Ubuntu's automatic updates do not install ANY updates that are not "important security updates." For example, it did not upgrade me to Firefox 4 automatically; I had to do it myself (Don't all new browser versions usually contain new security features/patches? Oh well...That is a separate question entirely).
ANYWAY, is there some way to get the latest stable versions of all of my open-source software automatically (or at least all at once, on command), instead of just security updates? It seems silly to have to install new versions for every program manually.
Also, related/side question: Now that I have installed Firefox 4 myself (via apt-get by adding the mozilla-stable PPA), will I stop getting security updates for Firefox through the standard Ubuntu update manager?
Actually, a really thorough explanation of the whole automatic update system (or a link to one) would be great too.

I'm running CentOS 5.4 and noticed that for the past month there haven't been any new updates showing up either on 'yum check-update' or 'yum update' (I'm interested in basic and security updates). Although this may be right, I wonder if there is an online reference where I can check the updates that are released for CentOS (security bulletins) and make sure if there is anything wrong with my update system.

Update Manager fails to update the files in Karmic 9.10. The Internet access is fine but it fails to fetch from repository (404). I haven't changed any setting but since yesterday I realized the Update Manager is not working. I tried different servers and results were the same. It seems the packages are available in the server (checked by firefox), while Ubuntu can not find them. As I am using Bell-Sympatico as ISP, I am not behind any proxy.

Not sure exactly when this problem started. I'd say about a month ago but everytime I try to fetch lyrics on ncmpcpp, all it'll do is show me the to [URL]. This is getting really annoying, I tried changing my lyrics database and everything but it still shows just that. My ~/.ncmpcpp/config file:
Code:
####################################################
## this is example configuration file, copy it to ##
## ~/.ncmpcpp/config and set up your preferences ##
####################################################
##### connection settings #####
## set it in order to make tag editor and renaming files work properly
#mpd_host = "localhost"
#mpd_port = "6600"
# mpd_music_dir = "/home/mrudang/Music"
#mpd_connection_timeout = "5" .....
