Greenbone installation issues in Parrotsec 5

[valued_customer (Thomas Watermeier)]

– Please Write here your help request, –

—I have a new Parrot 5 installation and attempting to install openvas (Greenbone). After install I ran gmv-check-setup with the following results: gvm-check-setup 21.4.3
Test completeness and readiness of GVM-21.4.3
Step 1: Checking OpenVAS (Scanner)…
ERROR: No OpenVAS Scanner found.
FIX: Please install OpenVAS Scanner.

I tried to remove and reinstall with same resulys. Greenbone said it might be a package issue with os???

ERROR: Your GVM-21.4.3 installation is not yet complete!

Hi @valued_customer

I believe this is a known issue.

Cannot complete GVM install due to missing OpenVAS library

I have had the same issue in Parrot. Hoping it will be fixed eventually… it is a pain to get working. Here’s the best recent tutorial I’ve used in Kali to get GVM working. You may want to briefly add the Kali repo to download the working GVM packages after removing what you currently have installed, until the Parrot devs fix things. └─$ sudo gvm-check-setup [sudo] password for masmer: gvm-check-setup 21.4.3 Test completeness and readiness of GVM-21.4.3 Step 1: Checking OpenVAS (Scanner)... OK: OpenVAS Scanner is present in version 21.4.4. OK: Server CA Certificate is present as /var/lib/gvm/CA/servercert.pem. Checking permissions of /var/lib/openvas/gnupg/* OK: _gvm owns all files in /var/lib/openvas/gnupg OK: redis-server is present. OK: scanner (db_address setting) is configured properly using the redis-server socket: /run/redis-openvas/redis.sock OK: redis-server is running and listening on socket: /run/redis-openvas/redis.sock. OK: redis-server configuration is OK and redis-server is running. OK: _gvm owns all files in /var/lib/openvas/plugins OK: NVT collection in /var/lib/openvas/plugins contains 96310 NVTs. Checking that the obsolete redis database has been removed Could not connect to Redis at /var/run/redis-openvas/redis-server.sock: No such file or directory OK: No old Redis DB OK: ospd-OpenVAS is present in version 21.4.4. Step 2: Checking GVMD Manager ... OK: GVM Manager (gvmd) is present in version 21.4.5. Step 3: Checking Certificates ... OK: GVM client certificate is valid and present as /var/lib/gvm/CA/clientcert.pem. OK: Your GVM certificate infrastructure passed validation. Step 4: Checking data ... OK: SCAP data found in /var/lib/gvm/scap-data. OK: CERT data found in /var/lib/gvm/cert-data. Step 5: Checking Postgresql DB and user ... Starting postgresql service OK: Postgresql version and default port are OK. gvmd | _gvm | UTF8 | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 | OK: At least one user exists. Step 6: Checking Greenbone Security Assistant (GSA) ... Oops, secure memory pool already initialized OK: Greenbone Security Assistant is present in version 21.4.4. Step 7: Checking if GVM services are up and running ... Starting ospd-openvas service Waiting for ospd-openvas service OK: ospd-openvas service is active. Starting gvmd service Waiting for gvmd service OK: gvmd service is active. Starting gsad service Waiting for gsad service OK: gsad service is active. Step 8: Checking few other requirements... OK: nmap is present in version 21.4.4. OK: ssh-keygen found, LSC credential generation for GNU/Linux targets is likely to work. OK: nsis found, LSC credential package generation for Microsoft Windows targets is likely to work. OK: xsltproc found. WARNING: Your password policy is empty. SUGGEST: Edit the /etc/gvm/pwpolicy.conf file to set a password policy. It seems like your GVM-21.4.3 installation is OK.

Thank you so much for your reply… Parrot team is awesome. They fixed kde desktop on ver 5. Will do on kali install.

Best regards,
