Openvas on Ubuntu 18

Hello,

I have been trying hard to install openvas under ubuntu 18.01 but struck with the part where we do NVT sync , specifically the following commands :

greenbone-nvt-sync

greenbone-scapdata-sync

greenbone-certdata-sync

None of them seem to complete and every time I get some error due to network. I have already tried from 2 different networks, 1 enterprise and another home but the issue persists.

I tried following steps from 2 different independent articles online but the same issue.

Below is the code snippet of the error :

Trying to install Openvas 9

Pleaseeeee HELP!!!

Your GVM version is end of life and end of support, and the lagacy feed server is turned off since yesterday. We switched from 1G internet to 20G internet up-link.

Please upgrade to a supported version and it should work.

Hello Lukas,

I appreciate you responding to my query . Just 1 small request, can you please guide me to a place where I can have some instructions on how to install the new version. I searched a lot but the only articles I find is with Openvas9 .

Since I couldn’t complete the installation of version 9 , upgrade is not exactly possible but a new install the only option.

Thanks,
Addy
