Hi, Fifth attempt to install VPN....
So after yesterday's debacle, I've just created a brand new, clean installation of Raspberry Pi OS four more times. Apart from changing the password, hostname and enabling I2C and SSH in each case, I've done nothing more than run through the tutorial at https://www.electromaker.io/tutorial/ blog/raspberry-pi-vpn-server as before. Everything worked fine, but when I got to installing wireguard, I got exactly the same result as yesterday, eg: ln: failed to create hard link '/boot/initrd.img-5.6.0-2-rt-armmp.dpkg-bak' => '/boot/initrd.img-5.6.0-2-rt-armmp': Operation not permitted update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.6.0-2-rt-armmp pi@WMT-Webserver:~ $ lsmod | grep wireguard pi@WMT-Webserver:~ $ On the third and fourth attempts I tried to run the Tutorials at: https://engineerworkshop.com/blog/how-to-set-up-wireguard-on-a-raspberry-pi/ That failed due to duff keys. and https://www.ovpn.com/en/guides/wireguard/raspberry-pi-raspbian but they don't specify fetching keys at all. (They also require a login to show the config side.) I noticed that neither the engineerworkshop or the ovpn site specify fetching the Linux Headers, but the electromaker blog does, so I left it out for the most recent attempt. No use either! The shell complained about the lack of headers, but seemed to do everything else (that it did) without complaint, but no wireguard running. So no good news at the moment I'm afraid. I would imagine that all these tutorials were done against earlier versions of Raspbian (and not necessarily accurately anyway), so I'm going to break for lunch shortly and consider my options. I think that anyone wanting to install wireguard on a Pi at the moment is probably better off waiting until it makes its way into the mainstream repository. Thanks for all help. -- Terry Coles -- Next meeting: Online, Jitsi, Tuesday, 2020-07-07 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
