when I try to run sudo apt install gvm I am getting error "unable to locate package gvm", please help

[@MarkdeMoras]

Try first doing a sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y then re-run the command again

[@saratakasapu8660]

@@MarkdeMoras Tried that as well, didn't work. I think it is not working for any package.

When i type sudo gvm-start job for ospd-openvas.service failed because of the Control process exited with error code how can i Fox this

[@Dandelionq]

Then when i type systemctl status ospd-openvas.service it say failed to start ospd-openvas.service ospd wraoper for the openvas scanner

The link I get doesnt work.

[@MarkdeMoras]

Which link? whatever the case, I left all the commands in the description so you can paste them directly

[@Kekshunter]

As soon as I run "gvm-start" it says "Job for ospd-openvas.service failed because the control process exited with error code."​@@MarkdeMoras

[@MarkdeMoras]

Just a guess after a quick Google search, try running: sudo chmod 666 /var/log/gvm/openvas.log then running gvm-start again

[@Dandelionq]

It doesn't help ​@@MarkdeMoras
