I have followed the OpenVAS installation documentation to the letter, but I have an error, opsd-openvas refuses to start, no matter what I try to do, here is the error I have:
OSPD[1526] 2021-08-06 15:51:06,359: WARNING: (ospd_openvas.openvas) Could not gather openvas settings. Reason Command ‘[‘openvas’, ‘-s’]’ returned non-zero exit status 1.
OSPD[1526] 2021-08-06 15:51:06,367: INFO: (ospd.main) Shutting-down server …
This is the result when I do openvas -s

I have added this in the /etc/sudoers file :
%gvm ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/local/sbin/openvas
When I run OpenVAS, I get a right error, but if I run openVAS in sudo mode, with the GVM user, I get the right result…
sudo su - gvm
openvas -s ERROR
sudo openvas -s OK
I tested several things, impossible to find where the problem comes from…
