Ok, my bad, just being lazy. I need to go install a 32bit setup.

Not using any AV since i changed to LL from Windows. I would add to Lite Software so people can decide themselves if they want to install it or not.

I tried the install and got the following errors when running "sudo dpkg -i *.deb"

Code:

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

how does one change their vote?  I would like to change mine from "No" to "Instructions via Documentation".  Will system automatically delete my prior "No" vote if I now click on the other one?

I "removed" my previous vote, and the total vote count went from 20 to 19, so I guess the tally stays accurate.

Thanks paul1149.  Stupid me didn't see that "remove vote" button (or any of the other ones for that matter) until you pointed it out.  Right there in front of my face, but blind, oblivious me didn't see it.

Will close the Poll at the end of the month. Thank you to all for participating in this to date.

@avj did you run sudo apt-get install -f ?

[avj]

@Jerry, sorry didn't realize I needed to ignore errors.  After following the rest of the instructions it appears to work for single files, when scanning a folder however it only seems to scan the folder not what is in it. The first window worked with my theme, but the Update Assistant and other windows didn't they  had white text on a white background. I switched themes to Mediterranean White and could see the text. When I try to update it instantly says complete without downloading anything. The only other thing I see is that the icons, and text are a bit small, and don't change even if I resize the window.

As far as scanning goes, go to Settings, make sure all boxes are ticked, then try again. Why ClamTK doesn't have those ticked boggles the mind. ClamTK seems incomplete and slow. I'm open to suggestions of other AV for linux, but you must have tried or used it recently for me to take a look at it. Sometimes people suggest software that is either no longer maintained or is difficult to install. Cheers
