E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'linux-headers-4.8.0-2-686-pae' # apt-cache show linux-headers-4.8 ... N: Couldn't find any package by glob 'linux-headers-4.8' ... # apt-cache show linux-headers-4.9 Package: linux-headers-4.9.0-2-686 Source: linux ... It looks like linux-headers-4.8 are currently missing in Stretch repo though currently installed kernel is 4.8. This issue seems quite independant from asterisk, anyway. I started all over with a Jessie box. Relating to [1], I could positively run: # m-a a-i dahdi ... But # dahdi_genconf required a reboot to run OK. Though this worries me as I need to script the whole install process, I can leave it aside at the moment.> > > > 3. How is dahdi started-stopped in Stretch ?

This was because the order in which they were loaded was not well-defined. This is irrelevant on a system with a single device. And anyway, irrelevant in a system configured (as is in the Debian packages) with auto_assign_spans=0 . In such a system, devices register automatically, but their spans are not assigned span and channel numbers unless they are configured in /etc/dahdi/assigned-spans.conf . So try: dahdi_span_assignment auto dahdi_genconf Another reason that the init file was removed is because there is no need to assign DAHDI spans before asterisk is started: if the channels are configured with Asterisk, they will appear when assigned (using a script in /usr/share/dahdi/span_config.d/). -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:tzafrir.cohen at xorcom.com +972-50-7952406 mailto:tzafrir.cohen at xorcom.com http://www.xorcom.com

This one is now: DAHDI_MODULES="wctdm24xxp" apt-get -s install asterisk-dahdi module-assistant linux-headers-$(uname -r) dahdi-source m-a a-i dahdi modprobe ${DAHDI_MODULES} dahdi_span_assignments auto ... edit asterisk and dahdi config files dahdi_cfg -vvvvvvvvv Thank you very much for letting me know about this dahdi_span_assignments command. May I add I've still got no /etc/init.d/dahdi file or equivalent though dahdi channels seems OK within Asterisk ? I'll learn a bit deeper into dahdi_span_assignments to clarify my further questions, if any. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
