Installing OpenVAS GVM on KALI Linux the right way - no config issues!

[@hoxuanquang1742]

Thank you so much for your tutorial! It really helped me fix the issue I was facing. I appreciate the time and effort you put into creating this video. Keep up the great work!

[@dhsahay1]

Awesome! Successfully installed in one go! Thanks a lot for this amazing video

[@TerryForeverYoung]

Arghhh.. After all that I am still getting the "Failed to find config 'daba56c8-73ec-11df-a475-002264764cea'" error when trying to start a scan

[@kilzygrey]

Were you able to fix this error?.. if so, please kindly assist.

@@kilzygrey Hi, I managed to fix it if yours is the same, the feed owner isn't set. You must run two commands, both as the gvm user which is either called gvm or _gvm (_gvm on Kali), i.e. starting the two commands with sudo -u _gvm on Kali. The first command is sudo -u _gvm gvmd --get-users --verbose You can then copy the long UUID string for your admin user (or the user you use). The second command is sudo -u _gvm gvmd --modify-setting 78eceaec-3385-11ea-b237-28d24461215b --value Here you replace with what you copied from the output of the first command. Hope this is clear and sorts your solution out. Noticed you only posted 6 days ago so hopefully this is timely for you. All the best

[@wanderingjeff]

after several tries at getting greenbone running in a docker container on ubuntu as they describe on their website I threw in the towel and tried this with Kali Linux 2022.4 on VMware Workstation 17, followed the instructions exactly from the video and it worked for me. Thank you!

[@jeepfreak9880]

You are amazing. Great video. Thank you very much.

[@ericl.6875]

I installed the latest Kali 2023.3 and tried to install openvas/gvm-setup. But I am having an issue which I don't know how to fix it. I was able to pg_upgradecluster from 15 to 16. But the gvm-setup gives an ERROR which is not related to cluster: Creating extension pg-gvm ERROR: extension "pg-gvm" is not available DETAIL: Could not open extension control file "/usr/share/postgresql/16/extension/pg-gvm.control": No such file or directory. I wonder whether you had seen this error before? Thanks in advance!

[@paulbunion584]

Sorry for the noob question, but what are the specs for the vm as far as memory and cores for this environment? 2 cpu and 4GB is enough for scanning? Any info would be helpful. Thanks guys!

└─# gvm-setup [>] Starting PostgreSQL service [-] ERROR: The default PostgreSQL version (13) is not 14 that is required by libgvmd [-] ERROR: Use pg_upgradecluster to update your PostgreSQL cluster

[@Pritchii]

any idea how to fix?

[@Leo1964]

Kali linux is running postgresql-13 on port 5432 and postgresql-14 on port 5433. GVM will call for port 5432 and get version 13 instead of 14 so you'll have to go into the conf file using sudo nano /etc/postgresql/14/main/postgresql.conf and change the port number to 5432, also remember to change version 13 to a different port to avoid conflict.

[@micdestefano]

Following the same instructions does not work for me. First of all, I needed to uninstall postgres because openvas requires version 14 and version 13 was installed. Even after that, after having installed openvas, when I run "gvm-setup" I get a lot of errors, for example: [>] Creating PostgreSQL database could not change directory to "/root": Permission denied [*] Creating database user could not change directory to "/root": Permission denied could not change directory to "/root": Permission denied [*] Creating database could not change directory to "/root": Permission denied could not change directory to "/root": Permission denied [*] Creating permissions could not change directory to "/root": Permission denied CREATE ROLE ... Do you have any suggestion?

[@prakharjadon954]

Two solutions to this either update port number for 14 to 5432 or stop 13.

[@micdestefano]

@@prakharjadon954 As I was telling initially, I did the installation procedure After having uninstalled PostgeSQL 13. I had cheched Also the "change Port option" even before resorting to the "uninstall 13" solution. The Port Number Is 5432
