Bdscan Segmentation Fault Options

[algifford]

after recent update, when I run "bdscan --info" I get the following:

#bdscan --info
BitDefender Antivirus Scanner for Unices v7.90123 Linux-amd64
Copyright © 1996-2009 BitDefender. All rights reserved.

Loading plugins, please wait / Segmentation fault
#

How should I proceed to determine which plug-in is tanking me?

I ran the command I found in another response (see below) but it could not create the symbolic link because the file bdcore.so already existed. So, I deleted bdcore.so and reran and now it works...

cat /opt/BitDefender-scanner/var/lib/scan/versions.dat.* |awk '/bdcore.so.linux/{print $3}'|while read bdcore_so;do touch /opt/BitDefender-scanner/var/lib/scan/$bdcore_so;bdscan --update;ln -s /opt/BitDefender-scanner/var/lib/scan/$bdcore_so /opt/BitDefender-scanner/var/lib/scan/bdcore.so;done

Hi.

I can confirm that this method works. Bitdefender works now under Unbuntu 11.10.

Thanks

The new knowledge of good and post it.

I am still interested in learning if a method exists for figuring out which plugin is seg faulting, short of removing them one by one until it works...Is there a log/trace file or some other method of determining what loaded last before the seg fault?

I appreciate your encouragement Andrei, but you did not answer the question in the post...

Thanks,

Al

Hi algifford,

There is no log file. The issue was with a lib not a plugin.

Hi,

I have a similar problem. When i install BitDefender-Antivirus-Scanner-7.6.4(amd64) it works, but as soon as i run bdscan --update the scanner segfaults.

CODE

bdscan info
BitDefender Antivirus Scanner for Unices v7.90123 Linux-amd64
Copyright (C) 1996-2009 BitDefender. All rights reserved.
Trial key found. 23 days remaining.

Infected file action: ignore
Suspected file action: ignore
Loading plugins, please wait | Segmentation fault

I have no idea how to solve this problem, maybe someone can help me?

Hello Andrei,
I am having a similar problem, getting segmentation fault errors whenever I try to scan root directory using bdgui or bd command line. I went through a procedure described on one of these help pages, and generated a core program crash data file. Can you tell me where to send it to you?
Thanks
Heidi

Hi loshakova,

Sorry for the late reply.
Have you followed the steps from my previous post and you still have the segmentation error ?
Please can you provide an update status?

I await your reply.

Regards,

Andi

I realize this is an inactive thread, but this problem still exists with the latest version of Linux BitDefender and this is the first link people see when they google "bit defender segmentation fault" (at least it was for me). Here's a script that will fix it, and it's easier to use than the "cat /opt/BitDefe..." line:
