[asterisk-users] asterisk 1.4.39 and dahdi 2.6 on Ubuntu

[bilal ghayyad]

Dears;

I see this at the /var/log/asterisk/messages:

[Apr 20 01:49:48] ERROR[1657] codec_dahdi.c: Failed to open /dev/dahdi/transcode: No such file or directory


Again, I am installing asterisk and dahdi at Ubuntu (uname -a
Linux House 3.0.0-17-server #30-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 8 22:15:30 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux).

I do not know if you were talking about the messages logs or about someting else?

Anyway, these are the logs that I see at the messages after running /etc/init.d/asterisk restart:
