Asterisk crashes with default install because of pjsip

[Hasse Hagen Johansen]

Hi

I have just upgraded to Ubuntu 15.04 where I got a new Asterisk. First I thought I neede to convert my sip.conf to pjsip.conf. But troubles persist - even after making af copy of my configuration and reinstalling asterisk,asterisk-modules,asterisk-config etc (making sure /etc/asterisk was empty before reinstalling). So a clean install also fails and asterisk is quite unuseable right now

Is seems after starting asterisk(with systemctl start asterisk) and then doing an "asterisk -r" i get this:

Connected to Asterisk 13.1.0~dfsg-1ubuntu2 currently running on pris (pid = 11110)

blacklisting res_pjsip.so in /etc/asterisk/modules.conf makes asterisk not crash

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I noticed after a recent apt-get dist-upgrade asterisk stopped working. Thank you for the workaround, I added noload => res_pjsip.so to /etc/asterisk/modules.conf and now it starts again. There are still a bunch of warnings in the log however, e.g.:

[Carlos F. (topopardo-deactivatedaccount)]

This happens to me, too. Blacklisting the module does nothing. Reinstalling with a clean config does nothing.

I have had no choice but to roll back the whole system upgrade to a previous backup.

It is a shame that probably the most important PBX is broken on probably the most important Linux distro.

[Robie Basak (racb)]

Setting Importance to High as this seems to be quite important in not breaking this, but I need to spend my time working on packages in main and this package is in universe. Is there anyone who can help with looking after asterisk in Ubuntu?

[Michael Paddon (micfael)]

This can be trivially fixed by adding

noload => res_pjsip.so

in the modules section of etc/asterisk/modules.conf

[god (humper)]

Blacklisting res_pjsip is by no mean "fix" - the chan_sip is legacy stack, the pjsip is the one recommended to use. If asterisk in ubuntu is so broken that pjsip is not working properly than it's good enough reason to switch distro.

I think the importance got to be set to critical.

[Robie Basak (racb)]

> I think the importance got to be set to critical.

It makes little difference what the Importance is set to. Please, help fix it.

[god (humper)]

A good first step would be upgrading to latest upstream LTS release which is 13.6.0
Chances are - it's already fixed there.

[god (humper)]

Pardon, I mean http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/asterisk-13-current.tar.gz of course.

[pcouderc (pierre-a)]

Same problem 6 months later on 16.04LTS server.
After 3 days asterisk down, I have switched back to Debian ; install without any problem on jessie.

[Early Bird (bugtrackers)]

I have filed a request for a fresh Asterisk LTS import in #1596405 because of an unrelated bug. However I also can confirm this issue.

[Sean Sosik-Hamor (sciri)]

Confirmed in 16.04. All my logs are in duplicate Bug #1631101.

[Simon Waite (opless)]

How annoying this bug is still here in Xenial ~18 months on.

Confirmed.

[David Walters (dwalters)]

This still appears to be an issue. I have installed Asterisk on Ubuntu 16.04.1 on a number of systems, and all but one had the same issue. noload => res_pjsip.so allows me to run Asterisk, unfortunately I would like to work with pjsip.

All the systems that failed are a newer VMWare virtual machines, the one that works is on an older VMware machine. Thoughts?

[Kseniya Blashchuk (ksyblast)]

Still no news? Come on... chan_sip is a community supported module and chan_pjsip is a core module, so moving to pjsip is really important I would say...

[arpagon (arpagon)]

I fix the problem in this

While I don't know the *cause* I do know that Asterisk on 17.10 crashes:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/976143/authentication-is-required-to-start-asterisk-service

maybe that's a different bug.

and:

[Stefan Regnery (llenny)]

Adding these modules:

load => res_pjsip.so
load => res_pjsip_session.so
load => chan_pjsip.so

right after the [module] section in modules.conf is working for me.

[François Marier (fmarier)]

This appears to be fixed in Ubuntu 18.04.

[Christian Ehrhardt  (paelzer)]

marking newer releases Fix Relased per Former comment.

[Athos Ribeiro (athos-ribeiro)]

Marking xenial as wontfix since it is no longer under its standard support period.
