Is there any open source Linux distribution available, which has built in anti-virus package installed, like kaspersky, mcafee or trend micro, so that I can able to scan my windows XP based machines which are on the network, and can be scan and clean remotely through this type of Linux distribution installed machine. I have search on a internet that some Live rescue Linux cd's are available, which can scan and clean the virus of windows machines. like F-secure Live cd, or knoppex Linux based Bit defender live cds that can be most effective to resolve this issue. But is there any distribution available like these live Linux distribution cd's, that can be installed in dedicated system to scan/clean the remote windows machines. Or is live cd can be installed on hard drive?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a problem when installing this package through synaptic package manager. this is :
libpng12-dev
the error is:

my distribution is ubuntu 10.4.
It started with Update Manager constantly recycling and not updating. When it starts it shows 295 files and 308MB waiting to download. When I click on 'Install Updates' it appears to go through the process, and then presents me with the same 'waiting to install' window again - and again, and again - in fact as many times as I care to click the 'Install Updates' button. No error messages appear. The 'Settings' button produces the same apparent process as the 'Install Updates' button, but doesn't present me with any other screen.
I've tried all the solutions I could find on these forums and nothing works. The sudo suggestions for Terminal usually produce error codes. adjusting a line in the 'hosts' file. When I tried this I was presented with the obstacle of not having access to the read-only file, and no matter how much I searched I couldn't find how to gain access . While investigating all these possible solutions, I was directed in turn to the Software Sources and Synaptic Package Manager applications, but when I attempted to start them, 'Starting Administrative Application' appeared briefly on the taskbar - and then disappeared!

I was having a problem with a fresh 11.04 install and the VPN software I use for work. I found the fix was to upgrade the software, so I downloaded an RPM, converted it to .deb and installed it via dpkg. The install worked and the VPN software now works, but Package Manager says I have a broken package and wants to 'upgrade' to the older broken one. How can I fix this without breaking my VPN SW again?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a small touchscreen tablet here that's running a cut down version of ubuntu (I think 9.04). It has its own flash gui and no mention of ubuntu on it anywhere (but I know 100% that it is). Anyway, its so cut down it doesn't even have things like apt-get, any file sharing capabilities and it cannot run .deb files. I can only do things to the filesystem via ssh not using the gui. Its running a busybox shell which is also very limited.
I would ideally like to be able to connect to some nfs shares on my ubuntu server with this thing but im having no luck. I have found out its because it doesnt have nfs-common or portmap installed (apparent dependencies). How would I go about manually installing something like that? I need to be pointed in the right direction as atm. I am not too sure. Baring in mind I cannot simply use apt-get or unpack a .deb file.
I am getting the following error when trying to open the Package Manager.
This is Ubuntu 10.10
An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information.
Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:

My ubuntu is Portuguese, I took the liberty of translating to facilitate the understanding.
I'm running 10.10 and cannot seem to figure out why apt-get is not working.
It will generally get to the point where it should be unpacking the replacement, but it just hangs there. I have looked to find a way around that, but right now, I'm still looking at
Code:

However, it says I should be able to find msttcorefonts in the Synaptic Package Manage, and it's not there. I double checked Writer and Times New Roman and the other true type staples are not there, so it's not that it was installed with the boot disk.
Has the name of the package changed?
