Hangs while updating lists

Help
1

I'm having the same issue after trying to add some Samsung addresses to the lists and now I don't know how to remove them. whenever I try to add new lists it always forces this to try and update and constantly just hangs. pihole -g 'd and got

Getting vdterms.samsungcloudsolution.com list...Getting noticecdn.samsungcloudsolution.com list... done
::: Status: Not found
::: Download failed and no cached list available (list will not be considered)
::: Getting noticefile.samsungcloudsolution.com list... done
::: Status: Not found
::: Download failed and no cached list available (list will not be considered)
::: Getting vdterms.samsungcloudsolution.com list...

^ thats where it hangs ~5 minutes i have to reboot the hole pi just to get it to stop.

You can now add/remove lists from the Dashboard > Settings page.

yup and even after de-selecting all of the lists and hitting save & update it comes up.

~EDIT: just went in and deleted every single list and it still happens.

Please send us the token generated by

pihole -d

so we can help debug the issue.

Sorry, I was on vacation and just recently was able to get back to you. Since then the debug token has expired (only lasts for 2 days), so can you make another, if the issue still exists?

No worries, ks7xlppwov. Though after I made that i found all the lists at some point were
all turned back on but it still hangs at the exact same one on the list.

You seem to have put ad domains in adlists.list. You should instead either add your own custom list and add the link it to the file (host on GitHub, etc) or add the domains to blacklist.list via pihole -b or the web interface Blacklist page.

so how do I go about removing something that isn't showing up in said ad list?

^ thats every link that shows up and none of them even have Samsung in the name

You will have to manually edit the /etc/pihole/adlists.list file and remove them. How/why did you add them there in the first place?

Didn't realize i was supposed to add the entire link of the git.hub link i found to block trackers from specific products I'd found. So I added only the ones I knew I needed straight off the page to the ad list figured that was what i needed. Granted that's apparently not true, but I just got this up and running like the day before I posted.

~Edit: as to the how, just via the web UI copy paste.
