All I can say is that I have not encountered this issue. I have manually stopped scans or had ‘m hang (which results in a stopped state after restarting OpenVAS) but then I can easily remove the corresponding report and start a new scan again on the task.
Running OpenVAS 9 on Ubuntu 16.04. Suggestions: restart all machine(s); check diskspace; check dmesg Thijs Stuurman Security Operations Center | KPN Internedservices B.V. thijs.stuur...@internedservices.nl<mailto:thijs.stuur...@internedservices.nl> | thijs.stuur...@kpn.com<mailto:thijs.stuur...@kpn.com> T: +31(0)299476185 | M: +31(0)624366778 PGP Key-ID: 0x16ADC048 (https://pgp.surfnet.nl/) Fingerprint: 2EDB 9B42 D6E8 7D4B 6E02 8BE5 6D46 8007 16AD C048 W: https://www.internedservices.nl<https://www.internedservices.nl/> | L: http://nl.linkedin.com/in/thijsstuurman Van: Openvas-discuss [mailto:openvas-discuss-boun...@wald.intevation.org] Namens Robin Baxter Verzonden: dinsdag 24 oktober 2017 16:49 Aan: openvas-discuss@wald.intevation.org Onderwerp: [Openvas-discuss] OpenVAS9 on Ubuntu 16.04 task status not changing to running Hi, has anyone encountered this and knows how to fix? Scans were stopped prior to completion and were deleted. Since then, any new scan will go to “requested” in the web interface and “has been requested to start” in the openvasmd.log, but the status never proceeds to “running.” I have repeated the same problem on several OpenVAS9 installations on Ubuntu 16.04, after scans were stopped prematurely. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
