#26 Other Issues » Installed the latest possible version of wireguard on Chimaera. » 2025-01-16 11:47:03

Replies: 3

Hi,

I would like to install the lastest version of wireguard* on Chimaera.

wireguard as been incorporated into Linux kernel since version 5.6

cat /boot/config-5.10.0-9-amd64 | grep WIREGUARD

CONFIG_WIREGUARD=m
# CONFIG_WIREGUARD_DEBUG is not set

ok so my kernel have wireguard as module.

So I presumed I had only need an interface to interact with wireguard.

but
apt show wireguard

...
Version: 1.0.2021 02 23-1
Depends: wireguard-modules (>= 0.0.20191219) | wireguard-dkms (>= 0.0.20200121-2), wireguard-tools (>= 1.0.20210223-1)
...

apt show wireguard-modules

Package: wireguard-modules
State: not a real package (virtual)
N: Can't select candidate version from package wireguard-modules as it has no candidate
N: Can't select versions from package 'wireguard-modules' as it is purely virtual
N: No packages found

I'm lost here.

-

apt show wireguard-dkms

...
This package uses DKMS to automatically build the wireguard kernel module.

I supposes this is required for system that do not have the CONFIG_WIREGUARD ?

apt show wireguard-tools

Version: 1.0.2021 02 23-1

I see on https://www.wireguard.com/install/#debian-module-tools that the lastest version of tools is v1.0.2021 09 14

Is this version will be compatible with Chimaera ? Is yes, how can I install it ?

Hey,

I would like too, to make run waydroid on devuan.

I see waydroid required wayland, so it seem the only supproted Window environment is KDE Plasma. (devuan) right ?

Then we need to apt install so first adding their repo

like this ?

/etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus          main
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus-updates  main
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus-security main

#28 Re: ARM Builds » boot on LUKS encrypted drive ( initramfs Vs initrd ) ? » 2025-01-12 15:06:00

SpongeBOB

I've did 

root: file /boot/broadcom/initrd.gz
initrd.gz: Zstandard compressed data ....

root: unmkinitramfs /boot/broadcom/initrd.gz Extracted/
# data where extracted to Extracted/
# but I go few error like:
# cpio: cannot link usr/sbin/vconfig to usr/sbin/watchdog: Operation not permitted

So the initrd.gz file is actually an initramfs file smile it was misleading.

But now I have a problem with mkinitramfs :'(

You can reply here , i'll merge both thread smile

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I've installed a Devuan rpi version ( 2025-01-10-0317_rpi-4-devuan-daedalus-6.1.93-arm64-ext4.zip ) on my Rapsberry pi 4.

I've recompiled the https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux kernel ( 6.1.93 ) to support some additional cryptographic algorithm.

I'm following the LUKS on Raspberry Pi 2021 guide
That explain step by step how enable LUKS on raspberry pi.

But the guide use initramfs and Devuan rpi seem to use initrd

So the question is: should I migrate to initramfs ? and how check whats is inside my current initrd ?

or keep-up with initrd but then how insert the necessary to enable LUKS drive to be mounted by it ( initrd ) ?

Thanks..

ok compiling now...

I've used make bindeb-pkg

Does someone already tried with -j$(nproc) ?

it's should be faster, but might be prone to error ? did you already tried ?

Hi,

I need to recompile my Kernel in order to activate some missing options...

I've tried few way but failed...

It can be done on a freshly install Devuan 5 Daedalus.

Thanks.

Thanks steve_v

indeed trying to activate it (modprobe) as it's no longer a module, will definitly not work.

I've tried a zless /etc/config.gz and it works smile so recompiling the kernel worked smile

in a terminal do groups I believe you have to be in the `netdev` in order to work

You can also dig the `/var/log/syslog` log.

Hi,

I've cross-compiled a Linux kernel https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux (6.6.63)

with 

CONFIG_IKCONFIG=m
CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC=y

but when I do modprobe ikconfig on the client, I get:

I've launched depmod but the error remain.

I don't know if /lib/modules/6.6.63-v8_TESTT+/build is required to load the module, as /tmp/RaspKernel6-6y/linux was actually in the host (cross-compile) and not on the raspberry..

Here the ~commands that I use to cross-compile the kernel

su
apt install bc bison flex libssl-dev make libc6-dev libncurses5-dev crossbuild-essential-arm64

cd /tmp/LinuxKernel/linux

git clone --depth=1 --branch rpi-6.6.y https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux

cd linux

For those who are interested I've found this https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentati … ernel.html

But Its not going deep, especially for the .config file or make menuconfig

If you have any advice, resources I'm all ears smile

BTW is the .config used to generate the kernel for the Devuan RPI is located into the /boot ? I cant find it...

Hi,

I would like to use LUKS on the rootfs aka /

when I do cat /proc/crypto I don't find AES nor xchacha :'(

So I assume I'll have to recompile a kernel ?

Any easy way to do it for Raspberry pi 4 ?

Thanks.

I've loaded nft with some rule

and now lsmod | grep nft return

nft_log ...
nft_ct ...
nft_conntrack ...
nft_objref ...
nf_tables ...

good catch steve_v, indeed nftable (if I'm using the good term) is a kernel module therefore do not run in user-space but in kernel space, so not visible by ps smile

Hi,

I've installed Devuan on a raspberry with https://arm-files.devuan.org/RaspberryP … %20Builds/

I've installed nftables following https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=34460#p34460

# apt install nftables orphan-sysvinit-scripts
# cp /usr/share/orphan-sysvinit-scripts/nftables /etc/init.d
# update-rc.d nftables defaults

I've reboot but it seem that nft do not start :'(

in /etc/init.d/nftables it was set

Default-Start:    S
Default-Stop:    0 1 6

I've change to 1 2 and 0 6 and

$ update-rc.d nftables default-disabled
$ reboot

but still seem not to start

$ runlevel
N 2

$ /etc/init.d/nftables status
nft rulset loaded: yes

$ ps aux | grep
... grep nft #so only the grep cmd

$lsmod | grep nft
(nothing)

Any ideas ?

So that means I have to do an apt-cache depends ( and download the dependencies ) for each dependence of the desired program ? 😭

Hi,

I would like to easily install some software/packages to an offline rpi devuan

I've heard of apt-offline that seem good for this purpose.
obviously it need to be installed to the offline machine.

so on the online machine I did

$ apt-cache depends apt-offline
apt-offline
  Depends: <python3:any>
    python3
  Depends: apt
  Depends: less
  Depends: python3-magic
  Recommends: debian-archive-keyring
  Recommends: python3-debianbts
  Recommends: python3-apt

then to get the .deb files,  and move them the offline machine.

$ apt-get download python3-magic apt-offline

once the deb file on the offline machine I did:

$ apt install /path/python3-magic_2%3a0.4.20-3_all.deb
success #I don't remember the ouput by heart :)

$ apt install /path/apt-offline_1.8.2-2_all.deb
#error, see here after

apt wanted to install automatically 9 other packages (iso-codes python-apt-common - python3-apt python3-debianbts etc... )
Of course as this machine is offline, it failed...

but why now, it want to dw other packages that are not listed with apt-cache depends ??????

Thanks.
