GVM install failed

"Hello, I was trying to install the Greenbone OpenVAS documentation for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, but I’m encountering issues. Here is the output of sudo systemctl status gvmd:

× gvmd.service - Greenbone Vulnerability Manager daemon (gvmd)
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/gvmd.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
     Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Tue 2024-08-06 09:30:59 +03; 3min 46s ago

When I run:

sudo systemctl start ospd-openvas
sudo systemctl start gvmd
sudo systemctl start gsad
sudo systemctl start openvasd

I encounter the following errors:

Failed to start gsad.service: Unit gsad.service not found.
Job for openvasd.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status openvasd.service" and "journalctl -xeu openvasd.service" for details.

How can I resolve these issues?"


Hi!

When you have problems running the source build of our software stack, you may want to try out our docker solution: Greenbone Community Containers - Greenbone Community Documentation

I installed GVM on Ubuntu, but I receive this error when trying to access it: ‘The Greenbone Vulnerability Manager service is not responding. This could be due to system maintenance. Please try again later, check the system status, or contact your system administrator.

Try to search the logfiles for any hints.
You should find it here: /var/log/gvm/
