Got same error

legowerewolf commented

Basic troubleshooting steps:

  • try rebooting? maybe the extension just didn't load.
  • please share the contents of...
    • /etc/system/systemd/tailscaled.service
    • /etc/systemd/system/tailscaled.service.d/override.conf
    • /etc/default/tailscaled

@legowerewolf - Here's a pastebin while I was using Steam Link to setup Tailscale. Copied from journalctl -f, hopefully this helps. Getting the same error as above.

Hm. Is it something with iptables? I'll check my system tomorrow (hopefully) to see what version I'm running.

Pjvw1106 commented

I started by following the original Tailscale guide from last year, got it working once then had issues, then found the Steam Deck plugin and came to your guide next. I've spent the better part of 3-4 hours today messing with it with no luck. Let me know what you find out.

legowerewolf commented

What do you mean by a plugin?

Pjvw1106 commented

I'm sorry I should have provided better context, someone imlemented controls for this into a "Plugin" managed by a 3rd party software called "Decky", provides the ability to turn Tailscale on and off from the Steam Deck UI. Followed the links to your github from there.

The relevant log here is:

 Oct 09 16:52:41 steamdeck tailscaled[10629]: invalid value "" for flag -port: can't be the empty string

Remove your /etc/default/tailscaled file and rerun the installer script.

legowerewolf commented

With no further responses, I'm going to mark this as closed. If someone's having further issues, we can reopen or spawn a new issue.

jiahzhang commented

I'm having the same issue, what log should I paste?

legowerewolf commented

@jiahzhang try deleting /etc/default/tailscaled and re-running the script. Let me know if that does or doesn't work.

jiahzhang commented

Hey that worked, thought I tried that... thanks

tailscale need to work with tun.ko and autofs4.ko
check your kernel conifgs:

zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CONFIG_TUN
zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CONFIG_AUTOFS_FS

on Ubuntu, use

cat /root/$(uname -r) | grep CONFIG_TUN
cat /root/$(uname -r) | grep CONFIG_AUTOFS_FS

if any of these configs is =m, try to probe related driver:

sudo modprobe tun
sudo modprobe autofs4
