Missing wireguard module

Just got my Rock 5B and I like it. However, I’m missing the wireguard.ko module in the Ubuntu image. The wireguard-dkms package fails to install because the kernel is too recent. How do I get a working wireguard module on there?

Works out of the box with:
https://www.armbian.com/rock-5b/

https://paste.armbian.com/diqatetume.apache

That works for Wireguard support, nice!
Downside is that I lost compatibility with my USB-PD powersupply I was using… Oh well, can’t have everything I suppose :woman_shrugging:

PD is fragile by design, but further hack and improvements are getting with future updates.

Pretty normal situation for this / Linux world :slightly_frowning_face:

I am running Ubuntu because I need to run snap and would also need wireguard.
tried to run wireguard snap (https://snapcraft.io/wireguard-ammp) but this does not work either.
any advice to get wireguard running would be much appreciated

The same answer as before + sudo apt-get install snapd (if you need to install snap packages). If you don’t have proper kernel, snap installer for wireguard scripts won’t help. And it won’t build modules neither …

ok thanks
I will try armbian - was hoping for a workaround with Ubuntu
