You might want to try a newer release.  The 0.4.5-RC1 images should have 
several improvements over anything from the end of January.

[Astlinux-users] Hotplug firmware problem

[Sebastian A. <sp...@sy...>]

Hi,

Does anyone know if AstLinux will load firmware for hotplug usb devices and
where it is looking for the firmware if it can / does?

I initially copied the firmware into /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware and
modprobe'd the device driver (kernel module) but I got this in the messages
log:
firmware unavailable (system misconfigured?)

So I tried copying the firmware to /lib/firmware just in case it was looking
there, but that didn't help.  Any ideas?

Many thanks,

Sebastian

P.S.  I am using AstLinux 0.4 branch from end of Jan.

Your question is pretty closely tied to IAXmodem.  You'll probably get a 
better answer if you ask Lee on the IAXmodem mailing list.

[Astlinux-users] IAX protocol IE accessibility

[<ast...@el...>]

I have an odd question, related to some ideas I had about provisioning
setups.


Is there an easy way to expose the IE (information elements) in IAX
communications?

The reason I ask is that I want to be able to extract the service
identifier IE from a client contacting Asterisk.

The bad idea I have is that a client would use Bonjour/mDNS to locate an
Asterisk server. Then, it would try to register with no username and
password.  IAX.conf would allow me to restrict by context the client,
forcing it through some sort of voice prompts. The trick here is, if I can
find a way to extract the service identifier, I can combine the results
from the user supplied information to the voice prompts to generate a
service identifier entry in IAXprov.conf which, allows for something
interesting.

The next time the client tries to call, Asterisk will associate that
client with the provisioning entry and push down a provision data set to
the client. This will reset the IAX configuration data on the client to
new, user/device specific settings.

For a small setup where all clients will be on the same subnet of a LAN as
AstLinux, this somewhat solves the chicken-and-egg problem of provisioning
where DHCP is operated by another device rather than the AstLinux box. The
only trick being, the client must have mDNS query capability and default
behavior as I described.

Doing things this way, the client MAC address does not need to be known
ahead of time to generate specific config files to be downloaded. Also, a
specific end user could through voice prompts, select their own extension
during configuration. The big drawback is that the client needs mDNS
support, as well as supporting IAX optional components such as the service
identifier or provisioning data push. Also, there is a potential crowding
problem when multiple fresh clients try to go through the voice prompts at
the same time, since they all have the same username/password registration
(contested registration?)


Can the service identifier be easily retrieved from within Asterisk, or
would this require an ugly hack/patch? Would I be better off trying to do
some sort of packet sniff and try to grab the service identifier
externally, then pass that to an AGI script that the voice prompts would
be running through? Or am I better off scanning the subnet with nmap to
locate clients and do something (web GUI config and PHP direct access to
individual client webpages to auto-config the clients)?

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.

Usually you can just pass CFLAGS=3D"-I $(STAGING_DIR)/include -L
$(STAGING_DIR)/lib" (and whatever else) before configure and make.

Re: [Astlinux-users] OpenVPN Questions

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

Kristian,

As a follow-up to your original question,

The openvpn.conf server-side option: (for OpenVPN 2.0.x)
ifconfig-pool-linear

might be useful to you.

Instead of creating /30 networks for each client, a single IP from  
the VPN subnet is used, starting at x.x.x.4 by default.

The only 'drawback' of using "ifconfig-pool-linear" in the server  
config, is that Windows clients cannot connect... the /30 option was  
made to deal with Windows tun driver.  (Some may consider this a  
security feature. <smile> )

UNIX and Mac OS X work fine with "ifconfig-pool-linear".  This might  
be the choice for SIP over OpenVPN in an all UNIX environment.

My pleasure.

It should be noted that my patch doesn't fix the fact the it will still
re-untar the ASTERISKNATIVESOUNDS_SOURCE tars. But this doesn't take too
long. I guess a solution would be to sub-divide all the targets, e.g.
"asterisknativesounds-gsm" would be sub-divided into
"asterisknativesounds-gsm" and "asterisknativesounds-gsm-extract" and the
extract part would do the extracting and touch a .extracted-gsm file which
the asterisknativesounds-gsm target would depend on. Or maybe there is a
better solution... (that's why I didn't do it)

Kind regards,

Sebastian

You may need to patch the configure script and possibly the Makefile for 
it to find the include.  You can see how this is done in other 
packages.  Look at the patch in the 0.4 branch for 
asterisk-makefile-cdr.patch.

  Thank you very much for the patch.  I have applied to to trunk and

[Astlinux-users] Lcd4linux package

[Manuel <lis...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I am making my first package but I have a problem. The attached package it's
not already finished but compile without problems. I have found a problem.
When the package test for the configuration, not found usb.h (see picoLCD in
config.log). I need usb support. To resolve the problem I can manually copy
the files from staging_dir/usr/include to staging_dir/include and all libusb
from staging_dir/usr/lib to staging_dir/lib. With these changes works and I
can make an image with lcd4linux with usb support. With my picoLCD works ok.

Someone can tell me how to compile without coping these files manually? 

Thanks,

[Astlinux-users] Re-make issues (0.4 branch) and Asterisknativesounds patch (0.4 and trunk)

[Sebastian A. <sp...@sy...>]

I've noticed, on the 0.4 branch at least (about 6 weeks ago - the situation
may have changed somewhat or even got worse with the changes that have been
going on), that a make tries to do stuff that is not necessary for some
packages as they are already built (when running make again, obviously).
The packages affected are:
Libelf
Libpri
Asterisknativesounds

Also there is a problem (still existing for sure) with Asterisknativesounds
building (in 0.4 and trunk) if you do a make clean on that package:
Basically, the stat/var/lib/asterisk/sounds directory is not recreated
except by the tar process, and this (the untarring) doesn't set the
permissions correctly (or recreate the symlink to /mnt/kd/custom-sounds) and
so the build process fails.
Also, the make clean and make dirclean on this package were deleting
everything in stat/var/lib/asterisk/ and not just
stat/var/lib/asterisk/sounds and stat/var/lib/asterisk/moh.

I have made a patch (attached) for Asterisknativesounds to fix the make
clean issues, but I'm not sure what to do with the unnecessary rebuilding of
the 3 packages listed above (I only really looked at Asterisknativesounds
though).

Kind regards,

Sebastian 

[Astlinux-users] Astlinux 0.4.5-RC1 Images available

I want to get the pcmcia changes that Kristian recently committed to 
trunk back ported to 0.4 and get the rhino package back before we tag 
0.4.5.  Please test these images.  I believe we have most of the bugs 
worked out at this point.  If you previously downloaded any of the test 
images, please update to these images before reporting problems.

We have sqlite and postgreSQL (client).  Perhaps we can add mysql-client

postgresql or mysql.  Way too many writes which is counter to the goal

You can certainly change SetCIDName(${CALLERIDNAME}) to
Set(CALLERID(name)=myName) or Set(CALLERID(name)=${CALLERID(name)}). The
latter is the identical code to your code, except compatible with Asterisk
1.4 and not depracated in Asterisk 1.2. I don't think changing this will fix
your problem though as your code should still work in Asterisk 1.2. The
former is just using a hardcoded name.

Sebastian

The original request was for cdr data.  The cdr_sqlite module that is in 
1.2 only works with sqlite2.  I did see the res_sqlite3 module in 
add-ons, but we currently don't include addons in the 0.4 branch and 
this module won't help for cdr.  I'll talk with Kristian more about this 
and decide what is going to happen with trunk.  For right now, the 
features that are in 0.4 branch are what will make it to the 0.4.5 
release.  0.4.5 needs to get out.  We've added several packages and 
there have been several upgrades since 0.4.4.  I'm pretty much ready to 
call svn 709 a release candidate for 0.4.5.  The only thing that may get 
in that's not currently enabled is the rhino zaptel support.  It was 
temporarily removed due to a small problem with their ftp site.  If 
Bryce can get me the update in the next day or so, we'll get that 
included.  Otherwise, we're in a feature freeze for 0.4.5.

Err, really? sqlite2 only? So the following

[Astlinux-users] UEMCLIP g.711 ulaw enhanced mixed narrowband/wideband codec

[<ast...@el...>]

A weird thing popped up in my news feeds. Apparently, NTT in Japan is
fooling around with a G.711 ulaw based codec that provides for mixed
narrowband/wideband modes.

http://uemclip.com/English/index_e.htm

No source or algorithms available, but supposedly they'll be posted
soonish. NTT plans on using it for their next generation network (NGN),
due to be launched at the beginning of 2008. Due to expected
interoperability requirements, they are opening up their work on this
codec to the IETF. Whether the algorithm/source will be opensource or
require a license isn't clear.


Anybody heard anything about this? I know for a fact that NTT Data is
going to be releasing an asterisk appliance for around $6000 soon, so I
imagine they must be working on getting codec support together, but who
knows if that will go upstream or not. I also imagine some of the hardware
IP telephone makers must be getting ready in some way as well.

Looks like there is an issue with a missing libreadline.  It's built but 
not installed to the target directory.  Pretty easy to fix.

[Astlinux-users] new images from branch 0.4 (svn707)

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

I'm in the process of uploading new images for svn revision 707 from the 
0.4 branch.  The VIA and i586 images are available now.  The wrap image 
is on the way (net4801 is compiling).

There are a few significant changes:

sqlite2 instead of sqlite3 (for direct support in asterisk of cdr_sqlite)
Proper installation of sqlite binary
Installation of cdr_sqlite, cdr_pgsql, app_sql_postgres

These images are available here: (grab the 707 revision)

As always, please report back.

Re: [Astlinux-users] LDAP authentication

[Lenir S. <fla...@ya...>]

Would you be interested in doing some consulting work for us or recommend someone? We like Astlinux but for our needs is a bit limited. We are running on a mini-itx board (EPIA MII 1200) and want to boot off a USB flash pen and use the CF card slot to as the KD. We like how astlinux works (ro filesystem, busybox, etc.) What we want is like a Astlinux on steroids. We noticed that is somewhat based on Gentoo. So what we want is all the funtionality of Astlinux but running on a tiny version of Gentoo. Instead of uclibc, we want to use the normal libraries and also use the portage package, php, Zend optimizer, etc...all this to run off a 1G usb flash pen and still use the CF as a KD. You may reach me at lsa...@tr..., or at work +1-561-214-6241 if you have any questions.

Hmmm...

  That is interesting.

  The real problem is going to be that uClibc and all of the other
base components of AstLinux don't support NSS or PAM.  Those things
are usually not required (or wanted) in embedded systems.

  I like Bryce's SSH key idea.

Pawel,

Thanks for the file and patch.  I'm not sure we're going to use it in 
the 0.4 branch.  Someone would have to give me a pretty convincing 
reason why sqlite3 is better than sqlite2.  If there's really no good 
reason, I'm going to stay with sqlite2 for two reasons.  1).  Less 
patches to maintain and 2).  sqlite2 support is what is officially in 
asterisk 1.2. 

That being sadi, if you have a good reason to use sqlite3 instead of 
sqlite2, please let me know and I'll reconsider it.

Kristian may want to include the sqlite3 module in trunk.  That's 
totally up to him.  I'll have versions of astlinux built from the 0.4 
branch with properly compiled sqlite and cdr_sqlite (as well as cdr and 
apps for postgresql) shortly.  Please test when it's out.
