Re: [App_rpt] Asterisk segfaults after installation
Not sure why you felt the need to double post? Anyways, see comments inline. On Mon, Jul 28, 2008 at 12:20 AM, Roger F. Jordan Sr. <w4rfj@comcast.net> wrote:
Boy Marshall, You hit the nail on the head!!! Steve T. comes off as being Holier then Thou with his "I am a commercial, getting on frequencies us HAMS are not good enough for attitude!!!"
Um, when did Marshall say that? How did he hit the nail on the head? It is what it is. If you feel "not good enough" then work through it with a real "Elmer" or your clergyman or psychologist.
I am new to the App-Rpt stuff… and I have followed the instructions for all the styles of install, Both Manual and EVB… when I had a problem, not one of the developers or other ham on the list had any issue with sharing and helping me through the hard areas!!
I am sorry the learning curve is hard for you. Personally, I taught myself Asterisk seven years ago, before any of these GUIs existed. I did everything from the command line and compiled everything from source. Any real Asterisk pro knows the trade-offs of GUIs and all the extra garbage that must be installed and running to make that GUI function, and any of those processes can bring down your server or leave a security hole a hacker could drive a truck though. This EVB/ACID stuff would not be tolerated on the Asterisk lists and without Asterisk, I am not sure what app_rpt would do for you. Did they help you through building a custom kernel, only loading services and software that are needed for the task and no more? Did they teach you how to secure your machine properly? Did they teach you how to obtain maximum uptime on your system? These are all the basics of the "Best Practices" when building any system. Great.
That is what HAM is all about… soooo if Steve T. wants to learn… Or even if he wants to share to better the project… he would be welcome to do so…. But Steve T.'s attitude is PISSING US HAMS OFF!! Well this HAM anyway!
I already posted a working HOWTO. Again, you should speak to a clergyman or psychologist about your obvious anger disorders.
Steve T. This IS a HAM Community… Made By HAMS… so do us a favor… go find an Elmer and get your license… maybe you might get a clue as to what we are really doing here anyway! Well, we can only hope!
Wrong, it is an "Asterisk Repeater Controller" community. If you had attended the app_rpt track at Astricon, you would have heard Steve Henke speak to the commercial side of the project. I think I still have the handout with commercial uses included. Anyways, if it helps you feel warm and fuzzy, I am KB3OPB, LMAO. I have no idea what you are doing, but I am a systems integrator and have been doing Linux, Asterisk, MS, Cisco, and just about every kind of phone system you can name doing consulting for many years. My guess is you are just playing. I do this for fun and a living.

PS. Just so Steve T. Knows… An Elmer is a Mentor!
My "Elmer" co-authored SNMP and co-founded PSINet.

Steve,
This is not a HAM community, it is an Asterisk based repeater community. I have it in use for commercial non HAM operations that you as a HAM are restricted from.
So, why in your original post did you state this?
"Is it because HAM people are assumed to be dumb? Couldn't a shell script be written to pull down known versions of zaptel/dahdi, libpri, and Jim's branch, and install?"
Seems to me you were referring to the "HAM" people.
As far as money goes, yeah, the defunct Dingotel company probably put in most of the effort and money for the idea to be ripped off.
Your reaching now! <GRIN> Boy you sure like pulling things out of thin air.
The URI is most likely infringing on a >patent or several but that is besides the point.
If you are so worried about infringement, then why are you using the URI?
Sounds like you are talking out of both sides of your mouth.
I am precipitating the fix, not creating the problem. What problem have I created? Again, why so much pushback?
If you are "precipitating" a fix, why are you lasing out on the remailer about it?
Simply post a fix with the information on the remailer. That's all you need to do.
I paid for three URIs, that was in U$D, so much for free.
You paid for hardware NOT software. Do you know the difference???
When you bought the URI hardware, it did not say anything about FREE software support!
When you buy a Motorola radio, they do not give you the programming software for free?
No, you have to buy it.
Now I expect to be able to us that hardware on the OS/platform of my choosing. Am I out off line?
And you can! You will just need to figure it out for yourself!
All OS platforms are not supported and there have never been a claim that they are!
Buying hardware does not make you entitled to FREE software support for whatever OS or idea you can come up with in your own mind.
Since when is asking what the logic of be corralled into anything complaining? If there is a logical answer rather than vague answers such as "a labor of love" and "difficult >to do", then I am open to hearing it, otherwise it is propaganda to someone's agenda.
Well your original post did not come across as a question of logic, it came across as complaining.
Maybe you need to learn to express yourself better in email when you post messages on a remailer.
I logically want to be clear which it is.
HOWTO:
1. Install your favorite flavor of Linux and configure it your way, optimize your way, secure your way.
2. Install prerequisites for Asterisk
3. Go into /usr/src directory on your linux box # cd /usr/src
4. b) Download the latest SVN stable release of libpri and zaptel and Jim's branch # svn checkout >http://svn.digium.com/svn/libpri/branches/1.4 libpri-1.4 # svn checkout http://svn.digium.com/svn/zaptel/branches/1.4 zaptel-1.4 # svn >checkout ?http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/team/jdixon/chan_usbradio-1.4/
asterisk_usbradio
5. cd into each of the above directories and read any READMEs or similar all caps files.
6. cd into libpri-1.4
# make clean
# make && make install
7. cd into zaptel-1.4
# make clean
# make && make install
8. cd into asterisks_usbradio
# make clean
# ./configure
# "make menuselect" and make the selections you want.
# make && make install
9. Edit required files
10. Start Asterisk on the console with core dump on and a bit of verbose # asterisk –vvvvvvvvvvvgc
Someone please test this as I have, and post to the websites pushing EVB or ACID.
How about you test it and post it to your own website!
This will be my last reply regarding this subject. I am not wasting anymore of my time with
your "logical questions" (rants) on this email list.
