images are not showing up for me...some are but about 1/2 way they stop

By: till

All images show up correctly in Firefox, Chrome and Opera Browser. Take care that you don't use any adblocker or similar browser addons which might prevent images from showing up.

You wrote a fantastic article about install Asterisk. Credit where credit is due it got all the way to the end and won't finish. The GUI upgrade is just looping.  I'm sure it's not your fault, something changed, somehow my system is probably slightly different than yours and it fails.

 

This happens a lot with Linux programs, many of the programs I have not installed from a repo have some kind of error like this. Shows just how complicated this stuff is under the covers.

 

Nice work!

For whatever reason it seems the issue may be with 

chown -R asterisk.asterisk /var/{lib,log,spool}/asterisk

I went back and ran the following and restarted asterisk and worked fine.

chown asterisk /var/lib/asterisk/ /var/spool/asterisk -R

Hi. When trying to install Asterisk Gui on Ubuntu for Raspberry Pi 3b on

Ubuntu Server 20.04.2 LTS

you will probably receive errors regarding platform not recognized . Just click here

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4810996/how-to-resolve-configure-guessing-build-type-failure

And follow these steps

"

search for /usr/share/automake*/config.guess

check the latest version of automake

$ which automake $ automake --version

find the appropriate automake folder in /usr/share/automake.1.11.1/config.guess

replace config.guess from your build tree with /usr/share/automake.1.11.1/config.guess

(The same may/is usually needed for config.sub.)

"

And you will succesfully build and install Asterisk GUI successfully

Regards,
