**hmiersch** · May 26th, 2020

i run 18.04 on my raspberry pi for the purpose of using it as my own DNS server using pihole. problem is, pihole installation fails with this output:

Code:

      The Pi-hole requires elevated privileges to install and run

at the end there it says Please try "apt-get update". problem is, sudo apt-get update also spits out some errors. here are the last few lines:

Perhaps a stupid question but... Do you have internet connection?

**hmiersch** · May 26th, 2020

if the pi didn't have an internet connection, sudo apt-get update couldn't have got as far as it did. it only failed on a couple of files but the others were downloaded ok. plus, i'm using the pi to type this.
