Invalid Response from manager daemon while requesting the version information

Hi everyone,

I’m a beginner in Linux trying to use the python-gvm, and this is the code I am trying to run:

from gvm.connections import UnixSocketConnection
from gvm.protocols.gmp import Gmp

path = '/opt/gvm/var/run/ospd.sock'
connection = UnixSocketConnection(path=path)

with Gmp(connection=connection) as gmp:

    response = gmp.get_version()

    print(response)

But I appear to get this error:

File “test.py”, line 9, in
with Gmp(connection=connection) as gmp:
File “/opt/gvm/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/gvm/protocols/gmp.py”, line 117, in enter
gmp = self.determine_supported_gmp()
File “/opt/gvm/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/gvm/protocols/gmp.py”, line 100, in determine_supported_gmp
version = self.determine_remote_gmp_version()
File “/opt/gvm/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/gvm/protocols/gmp.py”, line 89, in determine_remote_gmp_version
raise GvmError(
gvm.errors.GvmError: Invalid response from manager daemon while requesting the version information.

I also get this same error when trying to do anything else from the python-gvm library. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,

your are trying to use the Greenbone Management Protocol (GMP) with the scanner which talks the Open Scanner Protocol (OSP). So you either need to use the Osp protocol class or to connect to gvmd depending on your use case.
