Please refer to the instructions in this blog post that describe how to report an issue with the Linux installers. Much more information is needed than you have provided. The necessary information is listed in the blog post along with the location to report the issue.

> **[Linux installation packages migrated from System V init to systemd](https://www.jenkins.io/blog/2022/03/25/systemd-migration/#reporting-issues)**
>
> Starting with Jenkins 2.335, the Jenkins project is migrating from System V init to systemd.

I just confirmed that the instructions from

> **[Linux](https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/installing/linux/#long-term-support-release)**
>
> Jenkins – an open source automation server which enables developers around the world to reliably build, test, and deploy their software

work as expected on Ubuntu 20.04 as installed on Google Cloud Platform. The steps I took were:

1. Install Ubuntu Linux 20.04 on Google Cloud Platform with 8 GB RAM
2. Run the `curl` command in the LTS install instructions
3. Run the `echo` command in the LTS install instructions
4. Run the `apt-get update` command in the LTS install instructions
5. Install Java 11 with `apt install openjdk-11-jre` as described in the install instructions
6. Run the `apt-get install jenkins` command in the LTS install instructions
7. Confirm that Jenkins is running with the command `systemctl status jenkins`
