Re: [Astlinux-users] Astlinux 0.4.5-RC2 Images Available

[Lonnie A. <li...@lo...>]

Darrick,

I am now using Astlinux 0.4.5-RC2 on my net4801 at my home.

Mostly SIP (including inbound registrations) and a little IAX2.

No problems to report!

I will sleep better now with asterisk 1.2.16 and udp/5060 open to it.

Your (and of course Kristian's) hard work is appreciated.

Lonnie

I tried removing the old zaptel directories but that didn't help (I didn't
try removing the new zaptel directory) so I did a "make dirclean" and then a
"rm -f -r build_i586" and then tried another make. It looks like there are
still issues and that maybe the old version of zaptel was a red herring. I
note that zaptel-1.2.15 has been extracted but has not been built yet. I
don't know which is supposed to be built first - zaptel or wanpipe?

But maybe this is the issue here:
"cc1: /usr/src/zaptel: not a directory"

Darrick,

  Manuel's problem is that his card's PCI ID is too new for the driver
in 2.6.16.12.  He has already sent me the output of lspci and we have
confirmed that it does work with newer kernels.

Manuel,

  0.4 is the stable branch of AstLinux.  We are not going to change
kernel versions in the stable branch.  I have just committed a kernel
patch for the r8169 driver for 2.6.16.12 in the 0.4 branch that adds
the PCI IDs from the r8169 driver in 2.6.20.

  This is a trivial patch and it should not effect the quality of the
0.4 branch.  The next releases that Darrick releases should have this
patch.

Sebastian,

  That is possible.  Manually remove your zaptel directories and try again.

  The rule of thumb for parallel compiles is to use N CPUs + 1.  So on
a uni machine you would use -j2.  That is why it is the default. :)

  I have a few eight way machines that I run anywhere from -j10 to -j12 on.

Manuel,

If I recall this was a realtek driver?  0.4 branch builds r8169 kernel 
module by default if you use either the i586 or VIA image. 

Did you try modprobe 8169?

Can you do an lspci -v > file.txt then attach file.txt to an email to me

I am again with my problems. Please, can you guide me how can I install the

weekend I have tried to make a package with the drivers from Realtek without
success. In the drivers not appears a configure file only a makefile and I

I am really very frustrated. If I use trunk the image file not boot. If use

Matt,

Short answer is no.  Not at the moment. 

Long answer.  I'm working on releasing 0.4.5.  Kristian is working on 
some major structural changes in trunk (changes that are needed to make 
upgrading in the future easier).  After I get 0.4.5 out, I might have 
some time to take a look at what it will take to get 1.4.x to build in 
Astlinux.  It's on the radar and with 1.4.1 out, most of the bugs should 
be worked out.  It makes sense to have it included, but it will take 
some time as the patches for 1.2 will not just drop into place.  Some of 
them won't be needed and quite possibly some new ones will have to be 
added.  If you even look at the difference between the 0.4 branch and 
trunk, you'll see that there are several patches that Kristian has added 
that are not in 0.4, even though we're using the same version of 
Asterisk.  In trunk, he's looking at adding realtime support.  By 
realtime, we don't mean dynamic dialplans.  We mean faster interaction 
with the hardware.  This includes a realtime kernel and some other 
changes.  Believe it or not, that the minor change in trunk compared to 
some of the other changes.

If you wanted to get started, you could look at zaptel 1.4.  That may be 
an easier package than asterisk itself.  The big issue there will be the 
other packages that depend on zaptel (wanpipe and rhino).  Re-creating 
the patches required to get zaptel to build would be easier than what 
will be needed for asterisk.

Perhaps it got confused about which version of zaptel to use:

 [seb@IVRA1 astlinux-0.4]$ ls build_i586/zaptel* -l -d
lrwxrwxrwx  1 seb asterisk   48 Jan 18 18:02 build_i586/zaptel ->

drwxr-xr-x  8 seb asterisk 8192 Mar  9 19:41 build_i586/zaptel-1.2.9.1
[seb@IVRA1 astlinux-0.4]$ 

I did a make clean before a svn update, but not a make distclean (to save
time - I thought I could get away with not rebuilding the toolchain)...

Also, with a single processor machine, are there benefits to running two
simultaneous jobs?

Kind regards,

Sebastian

Sorry if this is an obvious question, I haven't the time to check out

Anyone know if there's an AstLinux Environment with 1.4 's in it?

Or is the best way to go to simply update the versions of Asterisk in

[Astlinux-users] Astlinux 0.4.5-RC2 Images Available

[Darrick H. <dha...@dj...>]

Images for Astlinux 0.4.5-RC2 will be available later this evening on my 
website.  Significant changes include the updating of the timezone files 
that are used by Asterisk.  Note that the system time does not use these 
files and relies on proper setting of the TZ_TIMEZONE variable. 

http://www.djhsolutions.com/astlinux

The VIA and i586 images are ready for download.  The wrap and net4801 
will follow later this evening.

Please assist in testing if you can, particularly the Sangoma hardware 
as I have no way to test that functionality.

Regards,

Darrick

Darrick,

  I see the commit for 0.4.  I am merging that into trunk right now.
Thanks a lot!

  I am thinking that it probably makes more sense to have these as a
package - glibc-tzdata, for instance.

  Either the user could compile it themselves (similar to Lonnie's
method) or we could just offer a binary tarball to download and
install.

  What do you think?

Re: [Astlinux-users] Fix for TZ values updates for DST

[Tony P. <To...@pl...>]

Darrick,
Like you I am in on this warm Wisconsin day fixing DST values...

My rc.conf has TZ_TIMEZONE=3DCST+6CDT,M3.2.0/2,M11.1.0/2
If I just set TZ, I get UTC time on the date.

I also assume that we need to comment out the TIMEZONE setting as well so it=
 doesn't use the /usr/share/zoneinfo/$TIMEZONE file in localtime.

Thanks again, you saved me a lookup.

[Astlinux-users] zoneinfo files

[Darrick H. <dha...@dj...>]

As you probably know several areas recently changed their start of 
daylight savings time to supposedly help conserve energy.  We won't go 
into that whole discussion, but suffice it to say that we've had to make 
some changes.  I'll provide a little history on the zoneinfo files and 
how they tie into Astlinux along with the TZ variable, then give you a 
link where you can grab some replacement files.

Astlinux is built on uclibc.  uclibc it self does not use the 
information in the zoneinfo files usually found in /usr/share/zoneinfo 
and linked from /etc/localtime.  Asterisk however DOES read these files 
directly rather than access this data via the *libc.  This is how we 
ended up with two variables in rc.conf referring to timezones.  TZ sets 
the timezone for the system, TIMEZONE sets it for Asterisk.

If you don't mind the time on your voicemails being off by the daylight 
savings time offset, you don't need to do anything.

For the foreseeable future, the TZ variable will need to be adjusted as 
mentioned in my previous email.  Again, this is for the system time.

The TIMEZONE variable can stay as is, but the zoneinfo files need to be 
updated.  I have a tar.gz file available which has updated timezone 
data.  This has not been fully tested, but it works on my test system.  
I will be creating new images based on 0.4 branch which will have the 
updated files.  You can either update to these images or grab the file 
and overwrite the files on your current image.  I only recommend doing 
this if you really know what you are doing.

http://www.djhsolutions.com/astlinux/tzdata.tar.gz

To overwrite the current files, you will need to mount your system 
read-write.
Remove the existing files in /usr/share/zoneinfo
Replace them with the files in that tar.gz file.

Sebastian,

  I just built 0.4 from scratch for geni586 with concurrent jobs set
to 10.  Everything went fine.

  The rm /usr/include/linux errors are "normal".  That's another
reason why you shouldn't run the build environment as root!

  Anyways, it looks like you haven't unpacked zaptel ($(ZAPTEL_DIR)
was not set, so the wanpipe makefile looked in /usr/src/zaptel by
default).  Can you make sure that zaptel was unpacked (look in
build_i586 for zaptel-*)?

[Astlinux-users] Fix for TZ values updates for DST

[Darrick H. <dha...@dj...>]

Until the new timezone data files are updated, you can correct the time
on your system by using the following:

Using Central Time Zone (US) as an example, in rc.conf replace

TZ=CST6CDT
with
TZ=CST+6CDT,M3.2.0/2,M11.1.0/2

EST5EDT would become
EST+5EDT,M3.2.0/2,M11.1.0/2

This is better explained here:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/xbd_chap08.html

After making the change, the easiest thing to do is reboot.  That will
re-create the /etc/TZ file (well actually /tmp/etc/TZ) on your system.

This seems odd.  I haven't seen this problem with wanpipe.  It should 
compile without any problems.  I would suggest backing up your dl 
directory, removing your entire local svn repository and starting fresh 
with the default settings.  Follow this exactly.  After this works, then 
you can try other things:

Make sure you are not root.

1).  get the current svn branch 0.4
2).  copy the contents of your backed up dl to dl in your newly created 
svn directory
3).  copy astlinux.config to .config
4).  make oldconfig
5).  make menuconfig  <-- change nothing!
6).  make

This should compile without problems.  If there are problems, report back.

>   
do not select both Generic i586 and VIA.  You can only select one target 
device.  You should also be able to leave the concurrent job setting at 
2.  I think we've caught most of the places where only 1 job can run at 
a time and replaced 'make' with $(MAKE1) which only runs one job at a time.

Manuel,

  Once your package is added to AstLinux I will assign a start/stop
point in the default runlevel.

  I also just commited a change to trunk that will mount usbfs by
default from /etc/rc on startup.

Hi again,

I am again with the lcd. I have found a patch for lcdproc to support
picoLCD. I have tried to include in package but some errors appears whe try
to apply. My experience in linux is very limited. Can somebody take a look
to the patch and oriented me where is the problem? 

Thanks all for your patience,
