hi christian yes by default it should be done automatically in the background & it used to but not since the last month now.
for the manual update i do > sudo systemctl stop clamav-freshclam > sudo freshclam i did this because clamtk reported signatures out of date & clamscan -V did not give me the latest signature version with the date as it used to. this fix provided here solves the problem, please do have a look : https://gitlab.com/dave_m/clamtk/issues/90 i have been with bionic ever since it was released & have had the same internet connection but never faced this issue earlier. the same computer, the same internet connection but with debian buster installed clamav & clamtk have absolutely no issues. for your reference here is my ubuntu bionic freshclam.conf : https://postimg.cc/GHtX3nNZ for your reference here is the debian buster freshclam.conf : https://postimg.cc/RJ9QrM3p i will bump the default 30 second timeout to 300 & report back. ** Bug watch added: gitlab.com/dave_m/clamtk/issues #90 https://gitlab.com/dave_m/clamtk/issues/90 -- 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 ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
