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

[Russ Dill (russ-dill)]

Upstream patch exists here: https://github.com/asterisk/dahdi-linux/commit/2e7acd2

[Russ Dill (russ-dill)]

And here, sorry https://github.com/asterisk/dahdi-linux/commit/f5d3b3

[Robert J. (tekkitan)]

The second link to the patch for dahdi-sysfs.c does not match the code currently in the package.

[ano (f-bnxns-launchpad)]

In https://github.com/asterisk/dahdi-linux/commit/f5d3b3 we have a drivers/dahdi/dahdi-sysfs.c patch.
But https://launchpadlibrarian.net/173682153/make.log shows that drivers/dahdi/dahdi-sysfs.o is compiled correctly.

The error occurs when compiling drivers/dahdi/xpp/xbus-sysfs.c, so have a look at http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/dahdi-commits/2013-December/003881.html and at http://web.archiveorange.com/archive/v/hQ43p4dy2nRg6J8F8GRB ...

[Gino (ginoputrino)]

Hi Guys,
   I can confirm that applying Russ's first patch ( https://github.com/asterisk/dahdi-linux/commit/2e7acd2 ) to the version of dahdi in ubuntu 14.04 allows xbus-sysfs.c to compile, and so dkms now builds the dahdi module correctly.

His second patch is probably necessary for versions of dahdi later than what is in 14.04, but isn't needed for current ubuntu.

So if using ubuntu 14.04, apply the first patch to /usr/src/dahdi-2.5.0.1+dfsg-1ubuntu3/drivers dahdi

then run sudo /var/lib/dpkg/info/dahdi-dkms.postinst configure

and you should be fine.

[ano (f-bnxns-launchpad)]

Thank you Gino, it works fine :

The attachment "patch for Ubuntu 14.04 /usr/src/dahdi-2.5.0.1+dfsg-1ubuntu3/drivers/dahdi/xpp/xbus-sysfs.c" seems to be a patch. If it isn't, please remove the "patch" flag from the attachment, remove the "patch" tag, and if you are a member of the ~ubuntu-reviewers, unsubscribe the team.

Hi, I have the same problem now (2014 07).
I tried to patch /usr/src/dahdi-2.5.0.1+dfsg-1ubuntu3/ like in post #8, but patch fails not finding the file to patch.
I also trie to modify xbus-sysfs.c y hand following the patch changes, and then it compiles but it fails to load, complaining like:

kern.log.1:Jul 22 10:46:33 testmachine kernel: [ 29.154412] dahdi: disagrees about version of symbol device_create
kern.log.1:Jul 22 10:46:33 testmachine kernel: [ 29.154417] dahdi: Unknown symbol device_create (err -22)
kern.log.1:Jul 22 10:46:33 testmachine kernel: [ 29.154454] dahdi: disagrees about version of symbol device_destroy
kern.log.1:Jul 22 10:46:33 testmachine kernel: [ 29.154456] dahdi: Unknown symbol device_destroy (err -22)
....

Can someone point me to a working solution? or even better fix the package? this is an LTS release after all.. and asterisk is used by a lot of people!

[paoletto (paoletto)]

I must also report that uninstalling the two packages (dahdi-linux and dahdi-dkms), downloading dahdi from asterisk website (version 2.9.something) and compiling from sources against the ubuntu kernel works, and the module seems to load fine

[Thiago (thiago-natanael)]

This bug is happening with me too...

I updated from 12.04 to 14.04 and dahdi not load the dahdi and wcfxo module to kernel, the solution patch posted here not work too...

To solve i needed to compile dahdi from source, make him to do kernel modules install and before, install dahdi from repo...

This work to me...

[ano (f-bnxns-launchpad)]

I can not understand why such a simple problem easy to fix (patch available and tested), is still not corrected.

[Jared Biel (jared-biel)]

+1 - the attached patch works for us and (IMO) a bug like this should be squashed from an LTS ASAP.

[Gino (ginoputrino)]

This is still broken in 14.10 :-(
Additionally, kernel 3.15 deprecated interruptible_sleep_on_timeout, so now in 14.10, to get dahdi to work, in addition to the above patch for xbus, pciradio.c also needs to be patched as per here:

https://github.com/pld-linux/dahdi-linux/blob/master/linux-3.15.patch

The same bug recently reported and treated more seriously . And nothing stated here? It's cool !
