Feed not having completed its synchronization

Linux Distribution and External Repo Discussion

Hi Everyone,

Despite what appears to be a successful and complete synchronization of all feeds, I am unable to initiate scans due to the following error:

“The feed owner is currently not set. This issue may be due to the feed not having completed its synchronization. Please try again shortly.”

My system resources are as follows, which should be more than sufficient for Greenbone’s operations:

CPU: 4 Cores
RAM: 16 GB
Storage: 250 GB

I have verified that the NVT, SCAP, CERT, and GVMD_DATA feeds are all current and up-to-date according to the Greenbone Security Assistant (GSA). However, the error persists, preventing any scanning tasks from being created or executed.

This suggests that while the data has been downloaded, there may be an underlying issue with the processing or ownership assignment of the feed data within the Greenbone Vulnerability Manager (gvmd). I have taken the initial step of ensuring all feed synchronization scripts have been run and have completed without any apparent errors.

You need to set feed owner.

Try following instructions or install packages or use automatec scripts, if this sounds too hard to fix.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.
What do you mean by install packages? as far as i check the gvm-setup if its ok. there are no issues so far. Are there any documentation that i check if i can assign set the feed owner?

thanks.

Not sure how did you installed it. kali packages work without tuning. source version requires set of feed owner. its always wise to follow documentation.
