Please note that Kali is shipping an outdated and end-of-life version of GVM (GVM-9 lacking two Major versions behind) which might contains bugs / issues causing the seen problem.
Until Kali is catching up to provide the recent GVM-11 version i would suggest to:
- Build the recent GVM 11 (end-of-life, initial release 2019-10-14) - Greenbone Community Edition - Greenbone Community Forum from source
- Use the ready to use GCE from Setting up the Greenbone Community Edition (GCE) Virtual Machine - Greenbone Professional Edition - Greenbone Community Forum
