Hi,

I followed the thread that was supposed to solve this in January, but it does not work for me in the final release of 10.04:

http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php/topic,13068.0.html

I've changed the permissions to asterisk:asterisk rebooted asterisk (and the core for good measure) and still nothing happens:

 -- Executing [s@voice-menu-lmce-custom:4] Background("SIP/206.15.148.189-00000002", "pluto/pluto-default-voicemenu")

Also, when I dial *98 I get no voicemail prompts although Asterisk seems to think it is playing them:

    -- Executing [*98@from-internal:2] Wait("SCCP/202-0000000a", "1") in new stack
    -- Executing [*98@from-internal:3] VoiceMailMain("SCCP/202-0000000a", "") in new stack
    -- <SCCP/202-0000000a> Playing 'vm-login.gsm' (language 'en')

    -- <SCCP/202-0000000a> Playing 'vm-password.gsm' (language 'en')
    -- Incorrect password '' for user '202' (context = default)
    -- <SCCP/202-0000000a> Playing 'vm-incorrect-mailbox.gsm' (language 'en')
    -- SEP001121116CEB is Onhook
  == SEP001121116CEB: Ending call 10 on line 202 (Connected)

No sound and no password entered....

I'll keep digging but if anyone has fixed this on their own core, I would appreciate any pointers. Thanks in advance.

OK, it took me some time to get back to this and then a bit more time to compare it to 8.10 to see what is wrong. Here are the steps to solve it:

ls -l /usr/share/asterisk/sounds

everything in this directory is listed as root:root in 10.04. In my working version of 8.10 it is listed as asterisk:asterisk. So I first changed ownership of all the gsm files:

chown asterisk:asterisk /usr/share/asterisk/sounds/*.gsm

Then stopped and started asterisk and still no love. Then went to look at the pluto directory and found that it was root:root so changed it:

chown asterisk:asterisk /usr/share/asterisk/sounds/pluto

Stop and start asterisk and dial in. Now asterisk can get into the directory where the files are located and play them. It was that simple. Just make sure that everything in that pluto directory is asterisk:asterisk as pointed out here:

http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php/topic,13068.0.html

If you have problems with recordings or other things permission related with asterisk I would try this on the folder and contents of the files in question.

I'll file this as a bug. Hope this saves someone else hours of trying to figure this out.
