anyone know how to fix this:
how do i do this: The database directory must be writable for UID 1000 or GID 100 ERROR: Can't create temporary directory /var/lib/clamav/clamav-ebe86fe4acceb0022174f7441cc3d376.tmp Hint: The database directory must be writable for UID 1000 or GID 100
trying to run freshclam
you don't provide the rights for /var/lib/clamav but say who must be able to write there. use chmod to give write rights to <user> (same as uid 1000) or give write rights to <group> and make <user> a member of gid 100.
or make <user> or the group "user" the file owner
chown logname:user
above <user> = logname
google for: file rights for clamav provides probably better and more accurate answers.
actually, this worked, courtesy of the above person: chown -R katnip:users /var/lib/clamav thanks :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
