Installation of Wireguard

Providing logs with

Latest wireguard version is shipped with a kernel. You only need to apt install wireguard-tools.

 

I added them to our repository but update takes 24h. You can manually install them and it should work:

http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/w/wireguard/wireguard-tools_1.0.20200827-1~bpo10+1_armhf.deb

Hi Igor,

 

Thank you for the download but  get the following error:

 

noname@hc1:~$ sudo apt install wireguard-tools_1.0.20200827-1_bpo10+1_armhf.deb

What I'm doing wrong?

 

Thanks for helping

Hi, this seems to be an issue again with Odroid XU4 + Armbian.

 

When I try to bring up a Wireguard interface I get:

 

jul 17 12:52:30 odroidxu4 wg-quick[1940]: [#] ip link add wg0 type wireguard
jul 17 12:52:30 odroidxu4 wg-quick[1949]: Error: Unknown device type.
jul 17 12:52:30 odroidxu4 wg-quick[1952]: Unable to access interface: Protocol not supported

 

Both wireguard and wireguard tools are up to date, I restarted the device multiple times. "sudo dkms status" doesn't output anything.

 

Based on "sudo apt update" / "sudo apt dist-upgrade" I'm up to date.

Looks like the wireguard module isn't loaded at all:
 

$ sudo lsmod | grep wire
<no output>

 

Version information:

$ uname -a
Linux odroidxu4 5.4.243-odroidxu4 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon May 22 13:57:29 UTC 2023 armv7l GNU/Linux
$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Debian
Description:	Armbian 23.05.1 bookworm
Release:	12
Codename:	bookworm

 

I tried to find some "odroidxu4 specific kernel headers package", but that fails:

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-headers-current-odroidxu4
Compiling headers - please wait ...

How can I make Wireguard usable on the OdroidXU4 with Armbian?

Try EDGE kernel. Module for WG should be already in. For this 5.4.y kernel we need to look why headers are broken ...

Hi Igor, thanks for the quick reply!

How can I do that? Is there a specific package I should install? Thanks.

Try with armbian-config -> system -> other

Thanks, that worked. However the edge kernel doesn't seem to have the eCryptfs module (the one which can be used to encrypt home directories: https://man.archlinux.org/man/extra/ecryptfs-utils/ecryptfs-migrate-home.8.en).

 

When I tried to go back to the current kernel (again with armbian-config -> system -> other), the whole system just didn't start after reboot. I'll have to re-flash my eMMC storage with armbian.

[Werner]

You can always go ahead and use the build framework to build a kernel package or whole image with kernel configuration customized and stuff added you need: https://github.com/armbian/build

Same Problem here.

I activated the edge kernel, then wireguard worked, but my xu4 can't reboot.

After reboot command, system ist not reachable over the network.

(pull the plug fixes this, but after reboot command, same problem)
any ideas?

I moved to the edge kernel this evening following Werner's advice and it solved my wireguard installation issues on my Odroid HC2.  No problem on reboot, either.  Thank you.
