Brand new Trixie Debian load today - Asterisk will not start

This is in the messages /var/log file

I know the latest version gets rid of dahdi kernel modules.

I saw this article, but not my issue - Dahdi error after minor changes (node, ports, LAN IP)

Any ideas? This was pulled today.

You say this was a brand new Trixie Debian load ...

Q's?

  • Raspberry Pi Appliance? or PC?
  • If you are installing to a Pi, were you using the latest image per the ASL Manual / ASL3 Appliance Installation instructions? or were you starting from an older image?
  • Are you using the configuration files from the image? or had you loaded up older configuration files from another/prior install?
  • Beyond any setup performed by asl-menu / node-setup, have you made any other configuration file edits?
  • Have you installed any other non-ASL packages?

Sorry, good point - this is a Dell WYSE, so it is net installed Debian, not the pi image. I used the latest net installer I grabbed today which was debian-13.4.0 amd64

I pulled config files from my backup, I guess I could try and use brand new ones and just see if it will config.

No custom edits.

I did install allmon3.

I tried changing it to the local/pseudo instead of voter and still fails to start asterisk.

What likely happened is that you installed Debian, then the ASL3 packages, and then you pulled in your older configuration files. When upgrading from older ASL3 packages to the latest we run a [package] update script that takes care of updating the old configuration files. But, because you restored the older configuration after the ASL packages were installed your configs were not updated. There are 2 clear paths :

  1. start over with fresh configuration files (use the asl-menu / "Backup and Restore Menu" / "Restore ASL3 default configuration")
  2. re-install the asl3-asterisk packages ... which should also run the .postinst script (sudo apt reinstall asl3-asterisk)

I believe you are correct, so I just went ahead did a full reinstall and then hand edited all my node files and so far seems heading in right direction.

I had tried the reinstall asl3-asterisk, that didn't seem to resolve for me, so had to do the hand editing.

All good now, thanks!
