The pihole guy says the problem is with systemd as the following is not how it should be.....

What a stupid answer ...

systemctl is always installed independent if systemd is used or not. Debian Jessie supports three init systems:
systemd (the default one ) sysv and upstart (that XBian uses)

Quote:[xbian@kitchen ~ $ systemctl status dnsmasq
Failed to get D-Bus connection: Unknown error -1

and

ps -p 1 -o comm=
init

So look like booting from init and not systemd....

Sure, XBian is using Upstart

Quote:Any ideas ?

Yeah. They should remove the stupid check if systemctl is installed/executable and use service dnsmasq ... instead (the service wrapper script checks itself which init system is running, so there is NO need to do this in pihole script again)
