Hello,
I installed GVM 22.4.0 on Ubuntu 22.04 following the instructions below: https://www.libellux.com/openvas/
Unfortunately, the gsad.service cannot be started.
sudo systemctl status gsad.service
ā gsad.service - Greenbone Security Assistant daemon (gsad)
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/gsad.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

The directory /run/gsad is empty. The file gsad.pid is probably only created when the service is started.
Does anyone have any tips on how to proceed here?
Thanks ottto
