I am trying to instal OpenVAS to do vulnerability scan in Kali Linux.
VERSION="2022.3"
VERSION_ID="2022.3"
VERSION_CODENAME="kali-rolling"
Debian 5.18.5-1kali6 (2022-07-07) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Error:
Step 5: Checking Postgresql DB and user ...
OK: Postgresql version and default port are OK.
gvmd | _gvm | UTF8 | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 |
ERROR: No users found. You need to create at least one user to log in.
FIX: create a user by running 'sudo runuser -u _gvm -- gvmd --create-user=<name> --password=<password>'
ERROR: Your GVM-21.4.3 installation is not yet complete!
I run what it said but again no result..
sudo runuser -u _gvm -- gvmd --create-user=admin --password=admin
Failed to create user: Invalid characters in user name
I have only one version of PostgreSQL, I saw in some blogs that might be a problem but for me, no.

One another thing I did not understand: Why it did not give me any password, as I understood from the tutorials, it needed to give me a password but it is saying I have one?
Edit: Also posted on greenbone, that it is related to the Kali bug. https://forum.greenbone.net/t/no-users-found-gvm-setup-on-kali-linux/13073 https://bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=7926
Edit2: I also tried to install on Ubuntu, it is not supported as I understood. https://forum.greenbone.net/t/ubuntu-no-greenbone-security-assistant-gsad-found/13092
Edit3: I think only solution is to install old releases o kali. http://old.kali.org/kali-images/ They said 2022.2 is ok, try it.
Edit4: I installed 2022.2 on VirtualBox and just did apt-get update -y, not upgrade. Then apt install openvas, gvm-setup, gvm-feed-update. At this point, I was able to access via browser and in the browser web GUI> Administrator - Feed status should be completed because it is also updating there and then it is good to go!
