Hello All,
I had a copy of asl installed on a dell 3040 and royally screwed it up.
So, I wanted to start over, so I re-installed, but the settings I had were still there.
How do I clear everything and do a clean install?
Thanks
Mike (N3IDS)
If you installed using the ASL 2.0 installer image it will install Debian and ASL on the Dell 3040 eMMC drive. Be sure to select the correct device ie. the entire eMMC rather than just a specific partition or some other (removable) device. If you do that the entire internal flash drive will be overwritten.
Alternatively instead of a reinstall you could just replace the contents of the /etc/asterisk folder. If you follow the instructions on the ASL github (or here) to install ASL from source, which I always recommend anyway so that you have the very latest ASL, after the sudo make install you can do a sudo make samples to copy the default .conf files to /etc/asterisk/. Then run asl-menu.
Hi David,
Is there a way to increase the font size when installing on the Dell? I am using a 7" monitor and it is easy to misread the tiny font they use.
Mike
There is probably a way to do that by setting a cfg somewhere in the install image files or there may be an option in the debian/ASL install menu options, but I do not recall seeing it. The Debian forums or just a web search on Debian installer font size might turn up more details.
Hi David,
I managed to do a clean install.
The tiny font was reall messing me up, had to get out a magnifying glass.
I can connect to SOME nodes. allmon2 seems to work. but no audio.
I think there is something wrong in the simpleusb config
I can use my cm108 fob perfectly in my rpi node
but it is not working with the dell.
simpleusb is enabled in modules and rpt config files.
hamvoip is a piece of cake compared to this dell setup.

I did it again,…
screwed something up and now it wont connect to asterisk manager.
Can someone PLEASE!!! make this thing idiot proof!
I would suggest running sudo asl-menu again, make sure your settings are correct, check /var/log/syslog for error messages, check rpt.conf again and make sure simpleusb driver is enabled, reboot the node, then try running sudo asterisk -vvvr. If not working post the specific errors you see.
Hi David,
I don’t know what I did. But it is working… maybe I didn’t reboot.
gonna keep my fingers off that part!
at least not till my hair grows back…
Mike
