Notus-scanner not start

Building from Source and Advanced Topics

Hi,

I did the GSA competition, following the step by step available in the official documentation. However, the notus-scanner service does not start. The following error appears: notus-scanner.service> can’t open PID file /run/notus-scanner/notus-scanner.pid (yet?) after start: Operation not permitted. Can anyone help?

Could be the same issue as Debian11 / gvm 22.4: gvmd.service: Can't open PID file /run/gvmd/gvmd.pid (yet?) after start: Operation not permitted but this time for notus-scanner.

Therefore could you try changing the notus-scanner.service file:

  • Use Type=exec instead of Type=forking
  • Add -f to the ExecStart line
