Can't install wireguard

#1

Hello,

I cannot make wireguard to install on my rock pi 4b running ubuntu 20.04
I have followed the instructions on similar topics but no luck.

Did anybody solve this, I am having similar issue too.

#5

Are you able to compile any modules against the headers?

#6

Hi, I am using the Debian image.

I did the following

sudo su
apt-get install -y libssl-dev build-essential  
cd /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)
make scripts

Which threw a pyhton error so I installed python and re ean and seemed ok installing wireguard. I then tried ot ocnfigure an interface and got the error Unable to access interface: Protocol not supported

At thatpoint I rebooted and the board wont boot, nothing on HDMI so will need re-flashed I guess. Not really sure where ot go form here, wireguard is a solid requirement for this project.

#7

Is the Radxa team patching the headers, because that won’t work other wise.
If not, install the needed depends: (if python is needed install that too)
sudo apt install -y make build-essential bc kmod cpio flex libncurses5-dev libelf-dev libssl-dev

and…

cd /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)
sudo wget -cq https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pyavitz/debian-image-builder/feature/patches/packaging/headers-byteshift.patch
sudo make M=scripts clean
sudo patch -p1 < headers-byteshift.patch
sudo make -j6 -s scripts
sudo make -j6 -s M=scripts/mod/
sudo rm -f headers-byteshift.patch

If its pre-patched, skip the download and patching bit.

In my opinion, this should be done using the builddeb during compilation of the kernel and deb creation process.

NOTE: Do this at ur own risk, I’m not using that kernel. But this is exactly “although less complicated than” what the packaging patch I use does.

#8

I managed to install wireguard in docker container but it started crashing my rockpi.
Now the problem is that I removed that container but rockpi is still crashing every couple hours.

i think you need to install dialog.
(No usable dialog-like program is installed)

sudo apt install dialog

i could be wrong ,
