Dietpi not connected Topic is solved

[Thor]

Ok, can i reinstall it via ssh?

[Joulinar]

Yep but first we need to switch DNS setting from local 127.0.0.1 to a public one like 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 to be able to download the new PiHole software.

[Thor]

Ok, i changed in sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
the dns-namservers from 1.1.1.1. 1.0.0.1. to 8.8.8.8.

Code: Select all

# Please modify network settings via: dietpi-config
# Or create your own drop-ins in: /etc/network/interfaces.d/

# Drop-in configs
source interfaces.d/*

# Local
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# Ethernet
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.178.30
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.178.1
dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8.

# WiFi
#allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
address 0.0.0.0
netmask 0.0.0.0
gateway 0.0.0.0
#dns-nameservers 0.0.0.0
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Then i restart, but this doesn´t help. When I log in via ssh i get in the Header this:

Code: Select all

 DietPi v6.28.0 : 21:22 - Mi 04.03.2020
 ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────

If you can't make it today, it's no problem. It's late here too

[Joulinar]

you have a config error on your /etc/network/interfaces. One single DOT to much at the end of the DNS Server config

Code: Select all

dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8.

ok pls try to stop and disable pihole-FTL.service first

Code: Select all

systemctl stop pihole-FTL.service
systemctl disable pihole-FTL.service

Once done, do the following

1. dietpi-config
2. got to 7 : Network Options: Adapters
3. got to Ethernet
4. set Change Mode : [STATIC]
5. set Static DNS : [1.1.1.1 1.0.0.1]
6. Apply
7. exit dietpi-config
8. on console check if DNS Server is now 1.1.1.1 > nslookup google.de
9. reboot your system
10. once done lets reinstall PiHole > dietpi-software reinstall 93

Hey Joulinar,
thanks a lot, that worked out great. I was able to reinstall pi-hole and now pi-hole runs very well again.

many thanks a lot
