Pi-Hole fails after update from Ubuntu 18 to 20

Posted by October 2, 2020 in Uncategorized

I went balls to the wall and updated my Ubuntu servers to Ubuntu 20. One issue I had was Pi-Hole not working. FTL didn’t want to start.

Found this website and it fixed it right away:

Quick answer, /etc/dnsmasq.d/lxd links to a file that doesn’t exist. The fix:

sudo unlink /etc/dnsmasq.d/lxd

Restart the server and all good!

I have been working in the IT industry for about 20 years. I have a BS in Computer Science, and a MS in IT Management. I currently work mostly with Windows Server, VMWare, and other Microsoft technologies. I also have a pretty overkill homelab that I tinker with. I put up this site to hopefully document stupid stuff I find, or stuff I spent way too long figuring out so maybe I can help someone.
