After updating to newest version of clamtk I am unable to access all features like preferences, update and all others, but the gui opens and shows. How can I fix this to start using clamtk newest gui features on ubuntu 14.04?

You need to update your clamav as well. Click here to take you to the clamav download. Go to the download folder that you downloaded it to, and type in the following from a terminal window:

tar zxvf clamav-0.98.7.tar.gz

then go to the folder that was just created

cd clamav-0.98.7/

Now, configure the source

./configure

Then make the source

sudo make

Then install the clamav

sudo make install

Hope this helps to get your clamav working with the new version of clamtk.

  • You know that ClamAV is available in the repositories too don't you? –  Oct 09 '15 at 18:38
  • @ParanoidPanda The one in the repositories does not work with ClamTK very well for some reason. Especially the new version of ClamTK. =( – Terrance Oct 09 '15 at 18:45
  • Strange... They should be the same version... –  Oct 09 '15 at 18:51
  • In what way does it not work very well though? –  Oct 09 '15 at 18:51
  • @ParanoidPanda The source claims to be the same version. Maybe it is the way it is installed. – Terrance Oct 09 '15 at 18:51
  • @ParanoidPanda I had clamav installed from the repository, and clamtk would not see the engine or the definitions, but when I ran the upgrades in clamtk it said it was fine. But yet, clamtk still claimed it was wrong. As soon as I downloaded the one from ClamAV and installed from source, it worked fine. – Terrance Oct 09 '15 at 18:53
  • Odd, it works fine for me... –  Oct 09 '15 at 18:55
  • @ParanoidPanda That's good. I don't normally use ClamTK because of that. I prefer normal repositories, and just running the dpkg-reconfigure clamav-freshclam for the definition updates. I've never had any issues that way. Plus, I do use Ubuntu 14.04, where you are 15.04, so the differences could be enough. – Terrance Oct 09 '15 at 18:57
  • Yes, perhaps when you upgrade to the next LTS it will be all fixed in that one. –  Oct 09 '15 at 19:00
  • @ParanoidPanda Maybe. Next April we shall know. =) – Terrance Oct 09 '15 at 19:01
