Created attachment 1711 [details]
screenshot of logs showing knot messages

I downloaded Core-Update 203 Development Build: next/99fe258d and installed it.

As it finished the install it said Starting knot-resolver [OK]

but then later on with starting ntp it failed to find the ipfire.pool.ntp.org locations.

I logged in and knot-resolver was not running.

I then checked the logs and found some failure messages about knot-resolver failing to load config.lua.

As this test system is on my VirtualBox vm and it does not provide text copying in the console window so I had to take a screenshot of the log. This is attached.

I tried starting knot-resolver and it again said OK and the status showed it running.
After about 15 seconds it stopped running again.

This seems to be the same issue I found recently:
