You need to increase the maximum amount of shared memory allowed. To load it without rebooting sudo sysctl -w kernel.shmmax=128000000 To make it permanent, edit the file /etc/sysctl.conf (gksudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf), and add this line to the end of the file kernel.shmmax = 128000000 share|improve this answer edited Oct 3 '12 at 22:28 answered Oct 3 '12 at 21:36 Sepero 2,56011843 thank you.

I've a 4GB memory. So this solution, I guess will work for computers with higher memory not low ones. Insert SHMMAX=`sysctl -n kernel

Avast! est un antivirus propriétaire, et gratuit an error pour une utilisation personnelle. Il est très réputé sous Microsoft Windows. Mais il existe aussi pour GNU/Linux en tarball 1), paquet Debian et paquet RPM. Il peut être pratique d'avoir sous la main un antivirus pour les environnements Microsoft Windows et leurs données qui transite sur votre ordinateur ou en périphérie. Sous Linux vous ne courrez pas de danger ! Par exemple, si vous branchez des périphériques an error occurred à votre ordinateur, tel que disque dur, clé mémoire ou si vous avez un lecteur de CD ou DVD ou toute autre unité de stockage, vous pourrez rendre le service de les vérifier et éventuellement de les réparer ou de les décontaminer ! Un autre cas de figure, ce sont les installations en double ou multiple amorçage (dual-boot) Microsoft et Linux. Pourquoi redémarrer l'ordinateur sous Windows pour les vérifications périodiques des partitions fat16 ou fat32 ou NTFS, si on peut le faire depuis Linux dans nos temps morts ? Vérifier les partitions Microsoft depuis Linux est même plus sécuritaire et a plus de chance de bien réparer les problèmes que de le faire sous Windows, on n'a pas à scier la branche sur laquelle on est assis ! Les logiciels antivirus fonctionnent classiquement en se basant sur l'exploitation de bases de données de virus, complétée par des méthodes de détection diverses. Les logiciels tels que Avast ou AVG, bien que disponibles sous Linux, utilisent une base de données de virus développés pour Windows.
