Bleeding Edge Gtalk/CDR Patches

[wardmundy]

For those of you that understand the risks ONLY (see warning below), here's how to implement the new Asterisk 1.8.2 Gtalk SVN patch and eliminate the callback drill for outbound calls. It works for me. YMMV!!!

It ASSUMES you already have a working Incredible PBX 1.8 system. If not, DO NOT PROCEED! This will work with PIAF-Purple running Asterisk 1.8.0 or 1.8.1.

Step 1. Log into your server as root and...

cd /usr/src
svn checkout http://svn.asterisk.org/svn/asterisk/branches/1.8 chan_gtalk.c
cd chan_gtalk.c/channels
cp chan_gtalk.c /usr/src/asterisk/channels/.
cd /usr/src/asterisk
amportal stop
make
make install
cd /usr/src/asterisk-flite
make
make install
amportal start

Step 2. Log into FreePBX with a web browser and...

Setup, Outbound Routes, Default

Change the Trunk Sequence

from: gvoice-youracctname

to: gvoice

Step 3. Repeat Step #2 for GoogleVoice and TollFree outbound routes.

Submit Changes and Reload Your Dialplan.

Enjoy your new outbound calls without the callback hassle by dialing any 10-digit number in U.S./Canada.

Be advised that the PIAF Dev Team classifies PIAF-Purple and Asterisk 1.8 as E-X-P-E-R-I-M-E-N-T-A-L. Remember the Pioneers! If you have a low threshold for pain, if you depend upon your PBX to actually make and receive phone calls, or if you understand the WAF and prefer sleeping with both eyes closed, abort this install now and choose PIAF-Gold, PIAF-Silver, or PIAF-Bronze. Otherwise, enjoy the ride!

WARNING: Do NOT apply cdr.c patch at the same time, or you'll have problems with menuselect.

CDR Patch

There is a potential crash issue with CDR in Asterisk 1.8.x. I had luck pulling the new code out of the same SVN above after first installing the new gtalk module. Just don't do both fixes in one pass or menuselect gets all fouled up. Ask me how I know. Here's what worked for me separately and after applying the fix above:

cd /usr/src/chan_gtalk.c/main
cp cdr.c /usr/src/asterisk/main/.
cd /usr/src/asterisk
amportal stop
make
make install
cd /usr/src/asterisk-flite
make
make install
amportal start

I'm so glad I waited on updating my 1.8 system, this fixed worked perfectly. My existing multi-trunk Google Voice system inbound/outbound calling worked right away after applying this fix. I had licensed allison's voice and dreaded rebuilding from scratch.

I see it re-installs flite, should I also reinstall swift as well? It seems to be working fine.

 

[wardmundy]

Try Cepstral and see. I think it will be fine.

 

[cadman97]

thanks

This fixed my issue with outbound calls.

Seems to work fine, thanks... other than trying to get Allison to say the words "cub scout"... but that's a different subject.

Thanks Ward. Seems to have fixed my outbound call issues.

The latest Incredible PBX build incorporates all of our adventures this past week including the new gtalk and CDR patches for Asterisk 1.8.0 or 1.8.1. Thus, outbound calls are connected directly with no callback. The old callback option still is there just in case.

If you're up for the challenge, install a new PIAF-Purple and then...

cd /root
wget http://incrediblepbx.com/incrediblepbx18b.x
chmod +x incrediblepbx18b.x
./incrediblepbx18b.x

So.. without callback, the outgoing calls can go out quicker [one less step in the process]? Saves a couple of seconds on average?


Thanks.

Done and DOne works great!

Ward, which Purple PIAF is required to implement the 18b. Is there a path for those of us at 1.7.5.5.1 to 1.8?

 

[wardmundy]

You'll really need to start with 1.7.5.5.3 or 1.7.5.5.4. The reason is we moved a considerable amount of the Incredible PBX plumbing into PIAF-Purple in 1.7.5.5.3. So running the new beta install of Incredible PBX wouldn't pick up all the necessary code to get everything working.

 

[dbaum]

Thanks Ward. Maybe purple should have been "red" as in "bleeding" edge

It's all Just a Bad...

Any ETA on Asterisk 1.8.2?
I took a look at their site, but didn't see anything...
Just trying to decide if should be waiting until that comes out to set up my box...

Serenity Now

Coming Monday: PIAF-Purple with patched Asterisk 1.8.1 for flawless Google Talk connections and crash-free CDR performance! No need to wait for 1.8.2 IMHO.

 

[stuck]

I just did a new install of Purple again today using 1.7.5.5.4 iso and the incrediblepbx18b.x but still at 1.8.0

 

[darmock]

stuck,

You can't read Ward's message?

Coming Monday December 13, 2010 at time no later than 23:59 Eastern Standard Time.
(it should be out before that but you never know) (Also I put the time in for clarity)

PIAF purple 1.8.1 with gtalk and cdr patches in effect.

The current version is STILL 1.8.0!!!! This is because it is not monday yet here on the east coast of the united states. BTW when it becomes monday here on the east coast in about 1.5 hours the new version will still not be out! You will have to wait at least another 24 hours. I hope this is clear enough now.

BE PATIENT! I just finished my testing and Ward is still busy with his testing. Some of our elves are also testing it currently. Once this is all done then it will be time to "RELEASE THE HOUNDS" till then just wait.

I suppose we should just not tell you guys a time for a release......

Tom,
please relax, I read the whole post.
As it is not completely clear to me what the current payload is. I was under the impression that the new payload would bring it up to 1.8.1 if that is not the case and there is no reason to update upto 1.8.1 then it would be sufficient to say that. There's no need to make your own assumptions about my ability to READ...
