hi! did a fresh install of ubuntu 18.04.4, updated the software & did a restart. next i installed clamav & clamtk but clamav would not update the signatures in the background by default as it should so i edited freshclam.conf & bumped the default 30 second ConnectTimeout & ReceiveTimeout to 300 as shown by you & the update was done.
just out of curiosity i did a fresh install again, did a software update, restarted & installed clamav & clamtk. clamav would not update the signatures in the background by default as it should so i edited freshclam.conf but this time instead of bumping both ConnectTimeout & ReceiveTimeout to 300 i copied from the debian freshclam.conf & only edited the ReceiveTimeout to 0 & restarted. after a few minutes when i checked with clamscan -V it showed me the latest signature version with date & time as it always did before > ClamAV 0.102.2/25744/Sat Mar 7 19:46:15 2020 clamav had done the update automatically in the background. for your reference here is = the default ubuntu bionic 18.04.4 freshclam.conf : https://postimg.cc/GHtX3nNZ the default debian buster 10.3 freshclam.conf : https://postimg.cc/RJ9QrM3p the edited ubuntu bionic 18.04.4 freshclam.conf : https://postimg.cc/GBRzC0m6 what i understand is that the problem is only with the 30 second default RecieveTimeout in freshclam.conf but i guess you would know better. please look into it & do the needful. ** Information type changed from Public to Private Security ** Information type changed from Private Security to Public Security -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1865818 Title: clamav update failed - default timeout needs a bump (upstream has bumped already) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/clamav/+bug/1865818/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
