Many thanks for any info

Hi,

please note that the “master” branch is where all development is happening. This branch might show unexpected behavior or could even break at any time. It is strongly suggested to stay with the official announced source code releases in About the Greenbone Source Edition (GSE) category.

The issue you’re currently seeing should disappear once the following PR has been merged into the master branch:

Thanks, I was using the latest official releases but ran into this issue: GVM-10 scans never go past 1%

Currently struggling to find a version that works at all!

Hi,

GVM-10 is a beta release as well so you can use the latest GVM-9 (stable, initial release 2017-03-07) release which is recommended for productive use.

I tried that as well, but on v9 gvm-cli is giving me auth errors (with correct credentials passed).

v10 works with gvm-cli, but scanner is broken
v9 is broken with gvm-cli, but scanner works

Trying to find the correct combination of version/packages that work together is really frustrating.

The possible combinations of our software components are mentioned here as @cfi already advertised

GVM 10 is not ready for production usage and by using master you can always get into a broken state. Therefore I really suggest to use GVM 9 currently. If something isn’t working with gvm-tools 1.4 and GVM 9 you should open a new topic and explain your problems in detail. Feedback about issues is always appreciated.
