Tailscale

[thbeh]

Hi, I am attempting to install Tailscale but have an error saying the TUN module is unavailable. Do I need to make a new image and include the TUN module in the kernel, or is it something that I have missed? Thanks

[wu-yue-yu]

I guess so, I'll update a defconfig with TUN enabled later.

[thbeh]

Ok. Thanks

[wu-yue-yu]

#33 should fix this.

@wu-yue-yu, thanks for the update.
I have cloned the latest code, and during mkrootfs, I encountered the following error

I: automatically chosen mode: unshare
I: arm64 cannot be executed, falling back to qemu-user
Can't exec "/usr/sbin/update-binfmts": No such file or directory at /usr/bin/mmdebstrap line 1923.

main::error("qemu-aarch64 is not a supported binfmt name") called at /usr/bin/mmdebstrap line 1926

I have tested both in ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04 with both physical and virtual server. Am I missing anything?

have you tried

sudo apt-get install binfmt-support qemu-user-static

?

[thbeh]

Yes, it works after the apt install. Out of curiousity, what is the difference between mkrootfs and mkrootfs-ubuntu?

[thbeh]

During mkrootfs, i saw some of these, dpkg: warning: ignoring pre-dependency problem and also awk is need.

The mkrootfs.sh is to build debian rootfs, while the mkrootfs-ubuntu is to build ubuntu rootfs.

The virtual server may have some problem when running mkrootfs script, I tested on Ubuntu22.04 on lxd. You may need do some configuration according the virtual server you use. My configurations for lxd are listed below:

Also, I have tested the SDK on my WSL2 Ubuntu-22.04, which runs on Win11.
There may be build steps of WSL2 in this repo if you need.

I guess we can just simply ignore these warnings of pre-dependency problem.
See output of mmdebstrap --help:

...
--include=pkg1[,pkg2,...]
            Comma or whitespace separated list of packages which will be
            installed in addition to the packages installed by the specified
            variant. The direct and indirect hard dependencies will also be
            installed...

Everything is working well. One more question. How to build a cli version of Debian. Sorry for being such a nuisance. Thanks in advance.

You can just delete the software packages which install xfce and other GUI stuff:
connman-gtk chromium linux-cpupower task-xfce-desktop xfce4-terminal xfce4-screenshooter fonts-noto-core fonts-noto-cjk fonts-noto-mono fonts-noto-ui-core tango-icon-theme

[thbeh]

Looks good now, with the cli only image. Had to add a couple of packages though.

@wu-yue-yu & @lonerkim, thanks for all your help.

I have a new question. Where would be the best place to compile a new USB Wi-Fi driver, or is there a way to create a patch for ASUS USB-AC53?
