Summary | 0008516: Kali 2023.3 OpenVas/GVM setup error | ||||
Description | See attachment | ||||
I have list of command's and output, is there a e-mail where I can send my steps. The problem is: [>] Starting PostgreSQL service |
|
Have you upgraded your postgresql cluster like it is saying? |
|
I have a step by step commands based on the error with output. |
|
What commands did you run to upgrade your cluster? What was the output? |
|
sudo gvm-setup -h [>] Starting PostgreSQL service |
|
sudo pg_lsclusters |
|
sudo pg_dropcluster --stop 16 main |
|
sudo pg_upgradecluster 15 main The database cluster will be initialized with locale "en_US.UTF-8". |
|
Data page checksums are disabled. fixing permissions on existing directory /var/lib/postgresql/16/main ... ok |
|
Copying old configuration files...
|
|
Success. Please check that the upgraded cluster works. If it does, |
|
|
|
|
|
[] Checking Default scanner [+] Done [>] You can now run gvm-check-setup to make sure everything is correctly configured |
|
sudo gvm-check-setup -h Step 9: Checking greenbone-security-assistant... So, maybe you could update 2023.3 to 2023.4 where error 'The default PostgreSQL version (15) is not 16' is resolved prior running 'gvm-setup -h'. |
|
I'm not sure what you mean by your last statement; that error message comes from postgres, not from gvm. |
|
If you follow the response flow, I will see that the last statement applies to 0018564. This error comes from gvm-setup. |
|
the gvm.sh script, is simply a script, it is running commands and showing the output. The output that is shown where it has this "error" is from postgres and not gvm. But yes, if a user upgrades postgres, they are expected to upgrade the clusters; there is an entire message that pops up during the upgrade that explains this to the users. I am going to close the bug, because it's not an actual bug, it was simply that the postgresql upgrade process hadn't been followed. |
|
I do not agree with your conclusion, this is a problem in Kali Linux 2023.3 using old PostgreSQL version without upgrade command to update the VM after starting the first time. My advice at least is to update the installation process on 'https://www.kali.org/tools/gvm/' with the following commands: |
|
You can disagree all you like, but we do not put out new releases every time an update happens and users don't follow the documentation that the package update provides. Once the system is installed, it is on you, the end user, to follow the instructions in keeping it up to date. Adding in the instructions for 15-16, means keeping it up to date when 17 comes out, and then 18, and then 19, and that is extra work for no benefit. It already tells you when the update comes that you need to upgrade the cluster. This is not a bug, this is how software updates work. |
