asterisk missing default sounds, voicemail doesn't work by default
Last modified: 2008-07-10 11:21:26 EDT
Hello. I have the latest fedora 9 updates installed. I'm using the testing version of the asterisk update: asterisk-1.6.0-0.17.beta9.fc9.i386 I am moving from my own build of asterisk to trying out the fedora 9 beta asterisk. In my transition, I found that none of the default sounds, which should be in /usr/share/asterisk/sounds/, seem to exist. This makes using asterisk voicemail difficult. I have these packages installed: [root@highrise ~]# rpm -qa | grep asterisk asterisk-1.6.0-0.17.beta9.fc9.i386 asterisk-voicemail-plain-1.6.0-0.17.beta9.fc9.i386 asterisk-voicemail-1.6.0-0.17.beta9.fc9.i386 asterisk-zaptel-1.6.0-0.17.beta9.fc9.i386 [root@highrise ~]# rpm -qa | grep zaptel zaptel-lib-1.4.9-1.fc9.i386 zaptel-1.4.9-1.fc9.i386 asterisk-zaptel-1.6.0-0.17.beta9.fc9.i386 When I tried to use the voicemail system, it failed because it wasn't able to open the sounds. Here is an example error message in the messages file: [Jul 9 22:36:39] WARNING[29484] file.c: File vm-login does not exist in any format [Jul 9 22:36:39] WARNING[29484] file.c: Unable to open vm-login (format 0x4 (ulaw)): No such file or directory [Jul 9 22:36:39] WARNING[29484] app_voicemail.c: Couldn't stream login file When I copied the sounds from my previous asterisk install in to position, voicemail started to work fine. Would it be possible to create a package with asterisk default sounds included? I could test such a package if requested.
Unfortunately, packaging the existing sounds is not possible because they do not have a license that is compatible with Fedora's policies. The short term solution is to download and install the sounds yourself. Longer term work has been happening on bug 428832. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 428832 ***
