Could not load more blocklists,.. and more errors

Hey there,

Have theses errors: I had over 700k blacklists loaded 2 weeks ago.
No merely 199k. haven't changed a thing.

Guess there is an other problem: while pihole -g

[i] Target: local (adblock.blacklist)
[✗] Status: /etc/adblock/adblock.blacklist 000
[✗] List download failed: no cached list available

The status url links to an unknown place. it should lead to /etc/pihole/blacklist.txt, doesn't it?
Later, it summarizes correctly [i] Number of blacklisted domains: 46

at the end it says:

[i] Consolidating blocklists.../opt/pihole/gravity.sh: count 385: warning: command substitution: ignored null byte in input

Anyone can help?
My debug token is: 5aaytz5teh

This needs to be a URL not just a filepath. You can try file:///etc/adblock/adblock.blacklist but I don't know for sure if that is supported--checking with the team on that.

Otherwise, people usually upload their lists to GitHub and pull them down that way--easier to maintain that was usually.

Thx for replying. but where to set that URL?
I do not have an entry im my list,. as far as I can see from the Webpage.

Web interface > Settings > Block Lists

It doesn't look like local lists appear in the Web GUI, which may be a minor bug (@DL6ERor @Mcat12 may be interested in looking into), but you can verify it's there by running pihole -g. You'll see

  [i] Target: local (adblock.blacklist)
  [✓] Status: Retrieval successful

1st:
running "pihole -g" - I do see this. but then again. There is no /etc/adblock/ directory !

"
[i] Target: local (adblock.blacklist)
[✗] Status: /etc/adblock/adblock.blacklist 000
[✗] List download failed: no cached list available
"
I nowhere wrote that URL. So why does pi-hole gives that entry? there must be a faulty line in any script!?!

2nd:

[i] Consolidating blocklists…/opt/pihole/gravity.sh: count 385: warning: command substitution: ignored null byte in input

should I re-install pihole? what can I do?

Send another debug token.

Ok, got one culprit. My adlist did contain /etc/adlist.. commented it out.

Still shows last error:

Your debug token is: tj9xs5jndn

Can you PM me? I'd like to get a copy of all your lists so I can replicate that error message. I can't seem to do it on my test systems.

This is actually already an open issue on GitHub:

@Binog can you run

pihole checkout core fix/nullbyte
pihole -g

and see if the error is gone?

well, sadly, no,..
[i] Consolidating blocklists.../opt/pihole/gravity.sh: count 385: warning: command substitution: ignored null byte in input

OK, can you run the commands again? I tried something else.

Seems as if the fetching did not work. I get a red x there.

Thus,.I get the same error while running pihole -g.

OK, can you send me your lists and I'll try to duplicate from scratch:

cat /etc/pihole/adlists.list | pihole tricorder

Can you also tell me the output of locale?
