Bdscan 7.90 Crashes On Ubuntu 10.04 X64 Options

[mbu]

Hello guys,

still a "happy new year" from me but unfortunately a problem i cannot solve without your help:

I am using

CODE

BitDefender Antivirus Scanner for Unices v7.90123 Linux-amd64
Copyright (C) 1996-2009 BitDefender. All rights reserved.

on an Ubuntu x64 system.

Please check the output of uname- mr

CODE

2.6.32-37-generic x86_64

When i start a scan, no matter if via bdscan or using the GUI, i run into a crash. Using the GUI, i see something like

CODE

Loading the Antivirus Engines, please wait

before BD crashes.

Using the shell, i get the following:

CODE

XX@YY:/# bdscan home
Copyright (C) 1996-2009 BitDefender. All rights reserved.
Trial key found. 30 days remaining.
Infected file action: ignore
Suspected file action: ignore
Loading plugins, please wait \ Speicherzugriffsfehler

"Speicherzugriffsfehler" means "memory access error", but is a synonym to segmentation fault, i guess?

I installed BD from the ppa (deb http://download.bitdefender.com/repos/deb/ bitdefender non-free), using this site: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/bitdefender.


I hope that you can help me.

Sorry for some unusual English, for I live in Germany (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)


Greets,

Annex:

I did the ulimit -c unlimited - thing and attach the core - dump in megaupload, when it's finished (~50 MB and a 15Kb - upload (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) )

The core- dump is located here:

Thank you for taking the time to report this problem.
I have been able to track down the issue, however I am unable to provide you with a solution at the moment.
I'll post back when I can do so.

Note: 'gzip core' dump would have saved you 3/4 of the upload time.

[Catalin Salgau]

A colleague pointed this out. There is a workaround for this problem and it has been provided on the forums before.
For your specific case it amounts to

CODE

touch /opt/BitDefender-scanner/var/lib/scan/bdcore.so.linux-x86_64
ln -fs /opt/BitDefender-scanner/var/lib/scan/bdcore.so.linux-x86_64 /opt/BitDefender-scanner/var/lib/scan/bdcore.so
bdscan --update

I trust this will work in your situation as well.

Reason for edit: fixed second line

Wow,

thanks first of all for this very fast answer!

I did it the way I was told:

CODE

root@mbpclx:/# ln -fs /opt/BitDefender-scanner/var/lib/scan/bdcore.so /opt/BitDefender-scanner/var/lib/scan/bdcore.so.linux-x86_64

Update succeeded.

But it didn't work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

CODE

root@mbpclx:/# bdgui
Speicherzugriffsfehler
root@mbpclx:/#

I tried to create a new core-dump, but I wasn't able:

CODE

root@mbpclx:/# ulimit -c unlimited
root@mbpclx:/# ulimit
unlimited
root@mbpclx:/# bdgui
Speicherzugriffsfehler
root@mbpclx:/# ulimit -c unlimited
root@mbpclx:/# bdgui
Speicherzugriffsfehler
root@mbpclx:/#

Besides, I will use gzip next time... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Terribly sorry for that. I wrote it here by hand.
The second line was supposed to read

CODE

ln -fs /opt/BitDefender-scanner/var/lib/scan/bdcore.so.linux-x86_64 /opt/BitDefender-scanner/var/lib/scan/bdcore.so

I've fixed it in the previous post as well. Just run this one and you should be able to use both bdscan and bdgui properly.

[mbu]

Sorry for delay, been away.

Tried as you wrote, great thing! Everything works fine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Looks good:

Hello All

I also have installed BitDefender Antivirus Scanner for Unices v7.90123 Linux-amd64 in Lubuntu 11.10 64bit. I then did an update of the scanner. I also get the

Infected file action: ignore
Suspected file action: ignore
Loading plugins, please wait / Σφάλμα κατάτμησης (segmentation fault)

When I cd to /opt/BitDefender-scanner/var/lib/scan as root and do ls I only see

00000000.tmp bdcore.so versions.dat.512A26895407AEF4F2964BE772AF939A
avxdisk.dll bdupd.so versions.id.512A26895407AEF4F2964BE772AF939A
bdcore.dll Plugins versions.sig.512A26895407AEF4F2964BE772AF939A

This means that

ln -fs /opt/BitDefender-scanner/var/lib/scan/bdcore.so.linux-x86_64 /opt/BitDefender-scanner/var/lib/scan/bdcore.so

would not work as there is no file named bdcore.so.linux-x86_64

Has something changed that I am not aware of?

Hi Rkwesk,

I will reply later with an answer for your post.

Hi Andi

I do appreciate your effort in answering my predicament. I have stated that like our friend, Edgar Duarte, quoted below, I, too, am running a 64 bit version of linux. Edgar claims that the fix works for 32bit systems but not for 64 bit.

Please know that some of us have first become aware of your company's product from the very favourable review written in the periodical Linux Format (United Kingdom) and will be happy to report back to the journal that indeed the Bitdefender support team have continued to work on and improve this fine product. Even if ultimately the fix for 64 bit comes only later on, I am already persuaded to write to this journal of your efforts to help.

If you could look into this further, I and others running 64bit systems will be very pleased. Meanwhile I will check back here to read further news.

I run the script on my 64 box and still same error, seems what comes in the update is 32 while the installation is 64, really is just badly written.
I’m removing and purging.

I hasten to post again now that I have indeed worked through the commands that Dan Pușlenghea posted. Although some who commented after his post made errors, among whom Edgar Duarte, it seems that an empty file was created with the name bdcore.so.linux-x86_64 (in my case as I am running a 64 bit system) and then a symbolic link was created which points to bdcore.so.linux-x86_64 replacing the non-empty file bdcore.so which was renamed bdcore.so.old so yes, I owe you, Andi, an apology in posting before investigating the advice you forwarded.

I am trying to understand why the advice is working so I may pass it forward in Greek to my local community and in English to the Linux Format community. It seems that bdcore.so acts like a flag. The flag says linux-x86_64 (in my case) and so the program does not seg fault.

Do I have that right? Again, I thank you, Andi and the team. This thread (in my opinion) should be marked as "solved."

Hi Rkwesk,
Sorry for the late reply.

The empty file is created to bring the latest version(the fixed one) of bdcore.so from the BitDefender update server to the local machine.

Andi
