OpenVas 7 - Solution

[PePeLeGal]

I've been experiencing a lot of problems with openvas.
My original Kali installation is 1.0.5. I was doing all upgrades.
But this last month Openvas stop working properly. A ERROR message always appeared, no matter what tutorial I followed.
Hope comes when I got to this solution. It is not good, is bad, I know. But now the openvas is working perfectly.

Ugly solution:
apt-get purge openvas openvas-* ;
rm -fr /var/cache/openvas;
rm -fr /var/log/openvas;
rm -fr /var/lib/openvas;
apt-get autoremove;
apt-get install alien nsis rpm;
apt-get install openvas;
From Menu: Applications > Kali Linux > System Services > Openvas > openvas Initial Setup;
openvasmd --user=admin --new-password=<your password>.

It has fixed the bug, but, remove all previous scans and configurations.

Usage:
Access https://127.0.0.1:9392/, enter login as 'admin' and password 'your password'.
Eventually the page will stop working. If this happen, just execute "service greenbone-security-assistant restart".

Hi PePeLeGal! I went step by step and it seems to work! But every time I reboot I face these three errors:

OpenVas Scanner is not running
OpenVas Manager is not running
openVas Greenbone Security Assistant is not running

Once I fix these three errors, Greenbone Security Assistant works pretty fine, but I can't launch OpenVas-gsd! any solution to this problem? thanks in advance for your help!
