You should see that all feeds status are current.
Since this looks good, we can now proceed to create a scan.

Then click on the wand icon, and select task wizard.
And then, input the IP address of the GVM server, then click on Start Scan.

This part is not working from me:
Update the Greenbone feeds
sudo -u gvm -g gvm greenbone-nvt-sync
rsync: [Receiver] safe_read failed to read 1 bytes: Connection timed out (110)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(282) [Receiver=3.2.7]

[@hometechs007]

Thanks man!

[@lazysysad]

No problem!

[@user-eu5cl2ls7p]

on the browser log in page, "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." this doesnt allow me to log in please help i've already checked the system status they are up and running

[@puhacc4736]

Thank you so much.!

[@lazysysad]

You're welcome!

[@rajpatel3152]

I followed all the steps but this command "sudo -u gvm -g gvm greenbone-nvt-sync" is not working , its showing command not found.

[@syfullahi3976]

When i run the scan its asking me to install the latest version 22.7.3, it is not giving me the result of the scan instead it is suggesting me to upgrade the scanner

[@batsu888]

Thanks for sharing, but there's a situation, the gvmd.service can't not active with an error "Can't open PID file (yet?) after start: Operation not permitted", does anyone have the same problem?

[@Anurag-rv1es]

Hi,
I'm getting this issue ""The SCAP database is required""
feeds is up to date, server also reboot but same error

[@naveenjha4740]

what permissons gvm user gonna have and is it necessary to have gvm user as owner of notus?

[@khaykimhong3919]

Hi sir,
I hope this message finds you well.
May I ask you a question?
After following your installation instructions, the process completed successfully. However, I encountered an error message when attempting to start a scan on the target.
Error message: "Failed to find config 'daba56c8-73ec-11df-a475-002264764cea'"
Are you familiar with this issue? If so, could you kindly provide me with a solution?
Thank you!

[@lazysysad]

make sure all feeds are updated. Check in Administration > Feed Status

[@Taecey]

I cannot access the web interface, I get a 404. What do I have to do?

[@Sasquacz1993]

Thanks for the tutorial !
Do you know how to update version 22.4.1 to 22.7.3 ?
Because from the tutorial installs version 22.4.1

[@lazysysad]

Installing latest version 22.7 will require a different procedure. As of the moment, the only available version in Launchpad is 22.4.

[@balys07]

sudo -u gvm -g gvm greenbone-feed-sync-legacy --type CERT
sudo -u gvm -g gvm greenbone-feed-sync-legacy --type SCAP
sudo -u gvm -g gvm greenbone-feed-sync-legacy --type GVMD_DATA gives an error: sudo: greenbone-feed-sync-legacy: command not found

[@lazysysad]

@balys07 that means you haven't installed gvm
Install GVM
sudo apt -y install gvm

[@user-me1bw8zk2j]

@@lazysysad I have the same problem, the gvm is already installed but those command are not found

[@mattmeyer5157]

Thanks for the video and great channel - Liked and Subscribed!
I've been through this twice and after "sudo systemctl restart gvmd" I get this error message:
Job for gvmd.service failed because a timeout was exceeded.
gvmd.service: Can't open PID file /run/gvm/gvmd.pid (yet?) after start: Operation not >
...skipping...
I'm thinking a permission issue, any thoughts?

[@lazysysad]

yeah my initial thought is permission or the directory doesn't exist
make sure it exists and is owned by gvm user.

[@user-xo4cd1nv7c]

It would be useful to also add a way to change the default password for the admin account

[@munnavasu7282]

when task wizard scan the ip while it's showing error like port not listed..

[@nerdfps.]

I just simply install by using the above. now i m getting invalid login after entering admin,admin

How to change password of admin account ?

[@user-xo4cd1nv7c]
