Looks like you are not alone... It appears not to be compatible, and needs an update for latest Kernel..??

Support for the kernel stopped at 3.11 I believe. There is a way to get it running, I have tested it on a vb. You can try the following:

Download from here - Comodo AV

Double click on the deb file and install it.

Then open a terminal and do:


Start Comodo from the desktop.

Ignore any errors, click on the Antivirus tab, and do Update Virus Database.

When that is complete, exit Comodo from the tray area.

Download - http://www.bondoffamily-net.com/~kinta-c...e=20140325 and copy it to /opt/COMODO/driver.tar replacing the other driver.tar file.

Open a terminal in the folder where driver.tar is and do:


Then open a terminal and do:


again.

Start Comodo from the Desktop. All should be well now.

It seemed like a good idea so I followed the instructions above....but, when I got to this bit:

"Download - http://www.bondoffamily-net.com/~kinta-c...e=20140325 and copy it to /opt/COMODO/driver.tar replacing the other driver.tar file."

I got a message, which flashed for a second that:

" could not replace file as you do not have proper permissions"

...or something similar...


What permissions do I need? And how do I get them?

thanks

wait...I think I know what I did wrong ...got too impatient and did not wait for the update to finish hence the program was still operating...would that be right?

Nope that wasn't it...I got the same error notice,, this time it lasted long enough for me to take a pic:




What can I do next?



Thanks

So you did sudo cp driver.tar /opt/COMODO/ and it didn't work?

Yep it didn't : it said no such directory as driver.tar

Did you

Quote:Open a terminal in the folder where driver.tar is

when you recieved no directory or did you open terminal in /home/username instead.

instead of

I wasn't sure so I did it again:




but it is there:

I'm assuming you have driver.tar in your home folder?
