Hello,

It is a VirtualBox VM which had 2GB of RAM. Now I changed the VM memory to 4GB and the problem persists. It was in fact possible that the problem was RAM-related, because just before the crash occured I was editing the task (it is an alterable task) to run over all the 35 IPs of my task in parallel. However, the RAM increase didn't solve the problem.

Thanks,
João Jerónimo

is your machine running out of memory? do you have at least 4GB of memory?

    Hello,

    It is the second time this hapens to me. I've been using OpenVAS-8
    in kali-1.1.0a.

    If for some reason the scanner crashes then it doesn't work anymore!

    First time this happened it was because I "killall -KILL"ed the
    scanner processes, so it was my fault! Gsad still ran, but when I
    tried to start a scan (any on them) the browser waited forever
    with no response. I tried to do openvas-stop; openvas-start with
    no success. Then uninstaled all openvas-related packages and
    reinstalled them again. Then I tried to remove all .nasl updates
    and downloading them again. None of these solved the problem. The
    solution was to reinstall kali linux.

    Today this happened again, but now it wasn't me the one who killed
    the scanner processes. It looked like the X session just restarted
    spontaneously while I was browsing Gsad. The symptoms are the
    same, that is, if I try to (re)start any scan the browser waits
    forever for server response.

    I noticed that if I did openvas-stop there would still be files in
    /var/run/openvas*.pid, and removed them. But after openvas-start
    the problem persists. Reboot also doesn't seem to solve the problem.

    Any idea?

    Thanks in advance,
    João Jerónimo
