Hi,
I installed OpenVAS 9 as vulnerability scanner in a virtual machine running
Kali.
When I try to start openvas (through "openvas-start" command) after
rebooting the virtual machine, I receive the following message:
"Job for openvas-manager.service failed because a timeout was exceeded.
See "systemctl status openvas-manager.service" and "journalctl -xe" for
details."
# systemctl status openvas-manager.service
● openvas-manager.service - Open Vulnerability Assessment System Manager
Daemon

If I run the following commands (in sequence) after rebooting the virtual
machine:
# openvassd
# openvasmd --rebuild --progress
then "openvas-start" can be executed without any problem.
The same thing happens if I run "openvas-check-setup" after rebooting the
virtual machine; it takes a while (just a minute) to complete but there are
no errors when "openvas-start" is invoked and I can access the OpenVAS web
interface.
Do I need to rebuild the NVT cache every time I reboot the virtual machine?
Thanks in advance,
Luca
