All reports are empty

Hi everyone,

I just installed OpenVAS 9 on Ubuntu 16.04.

Scans reveal vulnerabilities.

However, when I download scan reports, they are empty – literally 0 KB. This happens for every kind of report: PDF, text, Latex, etc. All completely empty files.

What do I do?

Thanks!

Thank you for your reply. I have already installed the appropriate texlive packages for PDF generation. However, as I mentioned in my original post, the problem doesn’t only affect PDF report generation. Every single type of report is generated as a zero KB file.

Correction: XML reports have content. Others have none.

If XML works, it a problem of your XSLT or all other report formats.

You miss dependencies … you can try to run a “strace -e file” on the gvmd and look for tools that are missing or is not correctly configured.

Here is how I resolved.

To enable pdf reports:
sudo apt install texlive-latex-extra --no-install-recommends
sudo apt install texlive-fonts-recommended --no-install-recommends
