PIONEERS Incredible Fax for Ubuntu with Incredible PBX install

[l4cky]

I think you just need to update that CDR module (and others) via Module Admin.

sorry my bad, wrong screen shot:

Latest version of Avant Fax is from 2010, many years before FreePBX had signature checking.

Thank you for the detail.

I have a technical question, but I am not sure if you can answer me.

When fax is received or sent, I received the email with a normal template:

Fax: OK
 
To: 95147316650
Fax ID: 16
Pages: 1
 
 
[URL='http://www.avantfax.com']AvantFAX[/URL]

Do you know where I can edit the template? Such as I want to add a link in the footer beside avantfax, or edit, or remove any stuffs? Or even add some lines. Which template is it? Thanks!

Please let me know if I should post this in a new thread, but in a new Ubuntu 14.04 install, running apt-get update/upgrade fails or stalls out with...

libpam-systemd:amd64 (204-5ubuntu20.10)
mysql-server-5.5 (5.5.41-0ubuntu0.14.04.1)
rsyslog (7.4.4-1ubuntu2.5)

which then causes these dependencies to fail:

mysql-server
pulseaudio
pulseaudio-module-x11

I ran the updates since I'm trying to install Incredible Fax 11 to this new IncrediblePBX 12 system.

I've searched the forums extensively, and tried things like the FixAptIssues.sh script, but to no improvement.

The system was still functional until I ran the incrediblefax11_ubuntu14.sh script. That blew out the db altogether. I'm certain this current incarnation is hosed, but could anyone tell me exactly how to install Incredible Fax 11? Should I /not/ first apt-get upgrade, as the incrediblefax11 script pleads me to first do?

Thanks

Hi Jay,

Sorry I should have mentioned that I tried that. Now that I need to start over (again), could you (or anyone tell me precisely what order things like:

/root/FixAptIssues.sh
and then the dpkg-divert sequence

should be run? Things seem hyper-dependent on the order things are updated.

Thanks!!

Edit: Just for completeness I re-ran the dpkg-divert sequence again, then apt-get update, then apt-get upgrade. Still stalls at libpam, mysql-server-5.5

nope not really the cover sheet, but more the fax confirmation sent to my email inbox.

 

[synack]

are you running the apt-get update and upgrade in the middle of the divert sequence?
The first part of the sequence basically causes the "start" that failing to always return true. run the update, then fix it back with the remainder of the sequence.

 

[Jay Deal]

Hi Jay,

should be run? Things seem hyper-dependent on the order things are updated.

Put the diversion in place, enter 'dpkg --configure -a' and let that finish configuring the outstanding packages to be configured, then do the 'apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y' and then remove the diversion. That's what always works for me.

 

[lakecoder]

Ok... starting afresh I was able to use the divert sequence & successfully get all of the apt-upgrade to install. Then I ran the incrediblefax11_ubuntu14.sh script, which ended with this...

You must Reboot now to bring Incredible Fax online.

The last time I downloaded and used the IncredibleFax11 for Ubuntu script, it didn't have this problem anymore so the script lakecoder is using must be at least 6 months old.

 

[lakecoder]

Thank you hwdsl2 - that solved that issue. jay - the incrediblefax11_ubuntu14.sh script was downloaded in mid December and has a date of 11/1/2014. I was not aware it had been updated. In light of the below, should I start over and download the script again?

I created an inbound route for a dedicated-fax DID ("Voip.ms Fax") with a custom destination of "Fax (Hylafax)". Calling this DID produces this:

lakecoder - Nano all 4 of your modem files in /etc/iaxmodem. These four files create the symbolic link between Ubuntu and iaxmodem (by creating virutal modems) and also link iaxmodem to Hylafax and Asterisk. Determine what the password is in each one, they should all be the same. Then go into iax-custom.conf file through the configure edit function of the FreePBX gui and remove the modems in there that don't have the same password as what you had in the /etc/iaxmodem files. You should end up with only 4 modems, zero through three. You have to do this because you reran the installation script and it will over-write the modems in /etc/iaxmodem but it will simply add more modems to the iax-custom.conf file that Asterisk uses to permit communication from the iaxmodem program. After you fix the iax-custom.conf file, restart iaxmodem and hylafax and do an amportal restart. Check the iax status like you did previous. You can also check the modem status (i.e. is it communicating with Asterisk) by entering 'iaxmodem /dev/ttyIAX0', 'iaxmodem /dev/ttyIAX1', 'iaxmodem /dev/ttyIAX2' and 'iaxmodem /dev/ttyIAX3' at the command line to insure you are getting a good registration with Asterisk.

 

[lakecoder]

Jay Deal - I started over. This time I downloaded the most recent (I think) fax script (12/3/14). I am 100% sure I only ran it once, after updating all apt and all modules. The passwords all match in /etc/iaxmodem and match (exactly 4) fax modems in iax-custom.conf. Regardless, I get:

root@incrediblepbx:/etc/iaxmodem# iaxmodem /dev/ttyIAX0

[Jay Deal]

I just read closer upstream, are you trying to use the IncredibleFax11 for Ubuntu on an Asterisk 12 install? I don't know if that works and I've never installed Asterisk 12 yet. From what I've read, there are some differences that might explain your troubles and I don't recall seeing reference to an IncredibleFax12 script.

 

[lakecoder]

According to wardmundy here: http://nerdvittles.com/?p=11041 the IncredibleFax11 script works on IncrediblePbx12 (Asterisk 12). Is this incorrect?

 

[Jay Deal]

If wardmundy says it works then it should. I've never upgraded to Asterisk 12 so I hadn't really paid attention to that install script. It's a struggle now as there are SOOOO many IncrediblePBX choices at this juncture that I can't keep track. I didn't have this problem 6 months ago. Maybe someone who has done a 12 install can speak with more authority so I will bow out of this.........................
