[SOLVED] must be root to update

[candive]

Hi all,
I am trying to update my Antivirus clam.
It says I have to be root to update.
How do I get to root.:confused:
Do I need to use code to update my Clam.
Thank you.

If it's in command line, start the line with 'sudo' and enter your password when asked (you won't see it as you type).

Ohhh, It does not appear as you type!
Cool.
Thank you.

Using ClamTk graphical. How do I update definitions in graphical mode or what command do I run with Sudo?

Thanks.

For graphical apps, use gksudo instead of sudo.

This is actually for security! It was made so that people would not be able to guess how long your password is! btw yes it is kinda cool

For graphical apps, use gksudo instead of sudo.
Or for us KDE users, kdesudo. It's a good habit to get into, else you'll start screwing up permissions on config files and such.
