TIPS Raspberry Pi Network Issues

[jerrm]

I'm almost persuaded... but not quite. In the good ol' days, there was a serious problem moving one of these servers from one IP address to another. It was anything but plug-and-play. But Raspbian 8 seems to fix that. I took a RasPi 3 that was on a private LAN and moved it to a public IP address on a completely different LAN and rebooted. Presto! Came up just like you would expect.

That being said. This SSH limitation only applies until you go through the 30-second Phase I setup one time. After that, you can clone the SDcard or move the hardware to ANY platform and everything just works. Is that not sufficient??

The console option would still there if needed. The image seems to grab an address without a problem as it is now.

IPBX is coming from a historical environment of VMs and self installs where the user has already dealt with the initial boot and config issues that require a head (or virtual head). If we were installing from script ourselves(something I still hope will be written up, if not fully scripted), there would be headless access to Raspbian.

With the pre-configured image, what we have is much closer to an appliance like a router, printer, etc.

What other appliance requires a physical keyboard/monitor for initial config?

FWIW, you don't need a monitor at all if you know the secret handshake.

With a USB keyboard and network cable attached, boot the RasPi3. Wait one minute to be sure the boot has completed and there's a login prompt. Then type pi <ENTER>, wait 5 seconds, raspberry <enter>, wait 15 seconds, press <enter>, wait 30 seconds, press <enter> again, wait 15 seconds, press <tab>, press <enter>, wait 15 seconds, press <enter>, press <tab><tab><enter><enter>. Server will reboot and you can login from SSH as root:password within 30 seconds.

I received my raspberry pi 3 and download the incrediblepbx13-raspbian8.zip. The MD5 did not match. I repeated it twice but same results. Is the MD5 correct?

TIA

MD5 matches between the SourceForge value and the latest ZIP. Try a different download mirror. Have you tried to actually unzip the file?? That will probably tell you everything you need to know.

I Down Loaded from a different site still no match but when I signed into my server today every thing worked normal.

Thank you

Sounds like some of the mirrors may still have an earlier release of the image. We typically overwrite earlier versions so that the download tracking isn't lost. I'll put the latest images on a server that we own so you can grab them if desired.

Wolfram Alpha Problem Fixed

Problem fix by uploading a fresh 4747 file and run the WA setup


I Added Speech Recognition Support and I can get weather reports by name.

1 Added Wolfram Alpha I get a repeat of my question but after I push 1 its says good by.

Here is the output

Well, the Pi3 came in on Monday, so that wasn't too bad. Newark is a partner of Element14, so they charge list price and no more. Oh, and got a case for 6$ too. Now to find the time to work with it...
(I probably won't use it for a PBX, the original Pi I have has been working fine for the last year+. On the other hand, I was *much* happier with the Pi2 as a Openelec box, will be interesting to see how the 3 does.)

System been up and running for a week now on a PI2. Everything looks stable, GUI definitely more responsive.

Have one problem, dunno if it's the PI or IPBX. When external call comes in at night, routing is over IVR. PBX is picking up the line, but doesn't play the IVR Welcome. Line is picked up, then there's a void (not even transferring to VM, which should happen when wrong key or timeout)
I first uploaded soundfile with IVR, but wasn't working. Then used feature to record myself the IVR using an extension. Had to re-record several times as there seemed to always be small parts missing from the recording (is the PI 2 too slow for this)?
Tested it when calling internal, and then IVR works totally fine. Just when it's an external call, it doesn't play.

Anyone an idea?

Could be codec setting on the trunk. Are you using ulaw? Or, is the trunk something unusual?

I'm in Australia, using alaw, configured on trunk and extensions. Did I miss something elsewhere?
Trunk is very classic, no special fuss in registration.

Check all of your prompt recordings, I had something similar once and the codec was different for the prompt and once it was re-recorded, the IVR was fine. The registration of phones and trunks does not check the codecs. The codecs kick in when the call is setup or transferred. Also, guessing that you have done the usual like reseting the Pi2. I have a Pi2 running on the latest build and it has performed well.

 

[RPi-Fan]

I would eventually like to see the install script, or at least instructions. My preference for IPBX over RasPBX is knowing how the sausage is made more so than the additional features.

Maybe this would be helpful:

Boot new SDcard image from Raspberry Pi 2

Just booted
From my Debian-Wheezy-Incredible Rpi2. The downloaded file got from wget https:....sourceforge....etc./download
Unfortunately the filename turned out to be 'download' and needed renaming before unzip, (if only for my sanity).
Raspbian7-Debian-Wheezy-Incredible pi2 wrote the Raspbian Jessie image to
/dev/scb on USB3 card reader + Transcend sdxc 64Gb.

Transferred the SD to mysecond RPi2 and booted with warning and ^D to maintenance shell getting Login Incorrect with user pi pass raspberry.

Funny thing - the second rpi with the new image purports to be same hoistname as my 1st pi and claims to be running Raspbian GNU/Linux 7 pi2.myddnsdomname
CANNOT Login with pi / raspberry ?
Now I got a case of Pi stereo

Actually the root password is set to password; however, the SSH credentials are missing until after the second boot.

 

[jerrm]

Certificate Manager and WebRTC are missing from the Pi3 image.

Also, the xconsole stuff at the end of rsyslogd.conf really needs to be commented out to kill log spam every minute.

FWIW, you don't need a monitor at all if you know the secret handshake.

With a USB keyboard and network cable attached, boot the RasPi3. Wait one minute to be sure the boot has completed and there's a login prompt. Then type pi <ENTER>, wait 5 seconds, raspberry <enter>, wait 15 seconds, press <enter>, wait 30 seconds, press <enter> again, wait 15 seconds, press <tab>, press <enter>, wait 15 seconds, press <enter>, press <tab><tab><enter><enter>. Server will reboot and you can login from SSH as root:password within 30 seconds.

Thanks for the secret handshake. It's cumbersome for those like me with their pi buried in an equipment panel but it works.

I haven't tried it but for those that want to interface with a pi but don't have/want a spare keyboard & monitor a raspberry pi serial cable is an option. People are also using the pie serial cable to unbrick things like routers so at least it may come in handy on future projects.

That said, the capability to run the pi headless straight away would be a welcome improvement.
