[NOTE] I am working on fixing this article to look the way it should on the wiki --Corrytonapple

I have worked over the last three days to get openVAS 4.0 working on Ubuntu Server 11.04. I have a feeling that the same process would work for 10.04 and 10.10 if the repository is changed.

sudo apt-get -y install python-software-properties sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/security:/OpenVAS:/STABLE:/v4/xUbuntu_11.04/ ./" 

||<tablestyle="width:100%" class="ubuntu_quotebackground"> "deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/security:/OpenVAS:/STABLE:/v4/xUbuntu_10.04/ ./" ||

10.10

||<tablestyle="width:100%" class="ubuntu_quotebackground"> "deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/security:/OpenVAS:/STABLE:/v4/xUbuntu_10.10/ ./" ||

You have to remove the 'source' entry in /etc/apt/sources.list

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Now you can continue adding the repository

Step 2: Quick-Install OpenVAS

sudo apt-get -y install greenbone-security-assistant gsd openvas-cli openvas-manager openvas-scanner openvas-administrator sqlite3 xsltproc

Step 3: Quick-Start OpenVAS

||<tablestyle="width:100%" class="ubuntu_quotebackground"> test -e /var/lib/openvas/CA/cacert.pem || sudo openvas-mkcert -q

Add the components to startup by adding them to the rc.local file

sudo nano /etc/rc.local

add the following:

Once you have created your targets your screen should look like this: http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=192431&stc=1&d=1305647466

Once you have entered your targets and chosen the scan type you are unable to modify the scan type. To choose a new scan type for a target you would have to create a new task. (we will cover schedules later as well).
