Where did it go? I switched to the 5.4 kernel for a while because I’m on a Thinkpad T440P and feel as if I don’t really need the latest & greatest, plus I just like the fact that it’s supported till 2025 and don’t like to make a lot of changes to my system. Anyhow, I need wireguard-lts for Torguard vpn, but it seems to be gone.
Torguard has wireguard-tools as an optional dependency, could it be that you are mistaken?
Mistaken about what? wireguard-lts can’t be installed, and I need it because Torguard will not connect with wireguard without it.
cj@thinkpad ~]$ sudo pacman -S wireguard-lts
[sudo] password for cj:
error: target not found: wireguard-lts
Well there is no such package and the Torguard AUR package has wireguard-tools as a dependency.
What makes you think it needs wireguard-lts, where does it say so?
What makes me think I need it? Uh, because it’s not working?
And yes, there is such a package. There used to be, anyway. Now it’s gone.
these are the dependencies for Torguard:
iproute2 (iproute2-git, iproute-mptcp, iproute2-selinux)
qt5-declarative (qt5-declarative-git)
qt5-websockets (qt5-websockets-git)
shadowsocks-libev (shadowsocks-libev-git)
stunnel (stunnel-systemd-git)
unbound
wireguard-tools (wireguard-tools-git) (optional) – wireguard support
For wireguard support you need wireguard-tools!
It’s an optional dependency of wireguard-tools, WHICH I ALREADY HAVE, OBVIOUSLY… Do I need to post a screenshot to prove it to you?
There is no such package as wireguard-lts. You need wireguard-tools for wireguard support. Good luck!
I saw that but there is no such package in the official repos or the AUR
No kidding… ya think? Why do you suppose that I made this topic? It wont run on the 5.4 kernel, nothing else has changed, so that is the only explanation.
You could use a non LTS kernel if that is an option?
I don’t want to use a non-lts kernel, for reasons that have already been explained in my op.
[cj@thinkpad ~]$ sudo pacman -U https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/wireguard-lts

I have a feeling Mirdarthos will have the answer…
Hi guys,
Apologies for butting in.
IIRC Wireguard will only work from Kernel 5.8 onwards without a DKMS package. This mena it’ll not just work with kernel version 5.4.
Fortunately, @pretzelbrain, Kernel version 5.10 is set to be the next LTS version, so I’m guessing you can install it and maybe Wireguard will then come back to you.

So, maybe it is there, just with another name, or something? Perhaps wireguard-tools
. I don’t know. I’m no expert.
I feared that this might be the case. sigh I was on 5.10, and a few things seemed glitchy. Also, according to what I have read, it’s not supported for as long as 5.4.
I have the dkms package installed, btw.
I already have wireguard-tools installed, as well. Wireguard-lts is listed as an optional dependency for it.
It is set to become LTS when 5.11 is released, if I understand correctly. I don’t really know what’s glitchy according to you, but I have it, and use it daily for about 8-10 hours straight, with no problems. I don’t find anything glitchy at all.
