How to find astguiclient version in ViciBox preloads?

[brucem]

I need to find what version of ViciBox.i686_64.X.X.X.preload.iso that has astguiclient version 2.4rc2? Is there a way of doing this without just selecting preloads and installing them?

Thanks

You can mount the .iso's with a desktop tool and check the contents. Look for admin.php which contains the version.

You can also try some of the earlier posts in this board of the forum because there was a time that Kumba listed the specs of each Vicibox release as they came out ... and this may contain the information you seek.

Happy Hunting.

Oh: Vicibox latest will install any version of vicidial you want from SVN. You can also dump the svn in any installation and load it up with 2.4 and reinstall on top. Then put in the database (if you have one) or load it from the extras folder. Be sure to say "yes" to loading the asterisk .conf sample files to ensure your asterisk files match. The only challenge: Asterisk 1.8 may not be compatible with a 2.4 installation. So you may want to try using Vicibox 4.0.3 to get asterisk 1.4.

No you can not simply mount the iso and get the files because opensuse uses clicfs on their install-cd, you need to boot it to access the files,
yes I have tried it and realized that it was too hard http://www.vicidial.org/VICIDIALforum/v ... 483#p93729
Have not looked at it in a while, maybe opensuse has changed or clicfs support is better,
but I found that the best way is to use virtualbox to boot up and get the files off the iso

But looking at Kumbas posts is less troublesome, here is some of the topics:

But since it's a Suse filesystem ... couldn't you mount them in an operational server and read the files at the command line just like the live server it's on?

[DomeDan]

Tried that, you figure that you will be able to read the filesystem on a opensuse system after you have installed the clicfs libraries and stuff, but no luck there,
don't remember what got me stuck but I was not able to mount the filesystem anyway so I gave up

clicfs is only used in live-cd filesystems so a opensuse install does not have the libraries installed by default, but at least they are available as a package

[williamconley]

Um ... can you Boot from one live CD, read it's files, and then use it to mount the others and read them?

You gave up? I'm ashamed to know you now. I have to deny.

[DomeDan]

You know me, I don't give up that easy! and if it was someone else I did this for other then me, then I would have fought it a bit more.
I gave up because it was easier to use virtualbox!
Didnt try to boot a live-cd because I figure that if a installed opensuse system didnt manage to mount the clicfs image then no other opensuse system would,
and it sounds more complicated to mount a iso from a live-cd, then you need to mess with accessing network-drives or usb-drives.

Looked it up a bit more and I think this is what happen to me:
http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2010 ... 01128.html

mkdir cmnt fmnt
clicfs the_clicfs_file cmnt
mount -o loop cmnt/fsdata.ext3 fmnt

The clicfs command works. So, the file cmnt/fsdata.ext3 exists. The
'file' says:

fsdata.ext3: Linux rev 1.0 ext3 filesystem data (large files)

The final mount hangs. When peeking at the clicfs process it in a futex
waiting for something. If I kill the clicfs process, the mount exits.
Otherwise. it just waits...

Think I tried this too:

(Don’t just leave off the “-c …” without adding “-m”, this got me a hanging mount later when I was trying the loop mount. I was able to resolve it with a brave “umount -f /mnt/clic” and then “killall -9 clicfs” though).

not sure though, dont have time testing it right now
