Not found, it hasn't heard of the package, or not found, it's heard of it but has problems installing it? > Since it's in there it seems a bit odd that it's not found.

Current Debian is 10, Buster, which I assume Raspbian uses. http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/dists/buster/main/binary-armhf/Packages.xz contains Package: linux-image-4.9.0-6-rpi Package: linux-image-4.9.0-6-rpi-dbg Package: linux-image-4.9.0-6-rpi2 Package: linux-image-4.9.0-6-rpi2-dbg Package: linux-image-rpi Package: linux-image-rpi-dbg Package: linux-image-rpi-rpfv Package: linux-image-rpi2 Package: linux-image-rpi2-dbg Package: linux-image-rpi2-rpfv so it seems correct to find you're running 4.9.

I don't know how that happened. The Raspbian Wikipedia page above doesn't mention a 5.x. Could it have been after something added Debian's unstable into the mix? https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=269769 said in April ‘We are planning to move to the 5.4 kernel in the near future’. Oh, found the cause. https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/raspbian/applications/rpi-update.md rpi-update is a command line application that will update your Raspberry Pi OS kernel and VideoCore firmware to the latest pre-release versions. WARNING: Pre-release versions of software are not guaranteed to work. You should not use rpi-update on any system unless recommended to do so by a Raspberry Pi engineer. It may leave your system unreliable or even completely broken. It should not be used as part of any regular update process. So don't do that. You've enough problems and trouble ahead getting this working on a stable Raspbian, don't deviate from that. :-) > The tutorial then downloads the linux headers, which ultimately > (allegedly) gets the 5.6 modules installed, but the Pi still boots > into the 5.4 kernel. > > > systemd-networkd and NetworkManager both have native support for > > setting up WireGuard interfaces, they only require the kernel > > module. > > Which apparently I can't get.

A 5.6 module with a 5.4 kernel sounds wrong. -- Cheers, Ralph. -- 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
