a) did you try “asterisk -r” to see whether it appears to be running happily?
b) did you try “ps aux | grep asterisk” to see which user the currently-
running instance is running as?
c) did you try “killall asterisk” before trying to start a new instance?

sudo asterisk -r
Hang the session
I cannot type the rest of it, I never have access to the cli
I did try killall asterisk
it say no process found
then asterisk -r
Then it hang (freeze) the session
how does this remove all traces ?
sudo find / -xdev |& grep --ignore-case asterisk
It doesn’t remove anything - it tells you where things need to be removed
from.
then how do I remove them ?

Surely you can use another console (Ctrl-Alt-F2 for example) to:
a) run other commands
b) kill the process which is stuck

The traditional Linux command to delete things is “rm”.
It has (at least) two useful options: “-r” will delete a directory and all its
contents (files and further sub-directories); “-f” will delete without
prompting, depending on the permissions of what you are deleting.

Surely that should be “sudo -u asterisk asterisk -r”?
You said earlier you were logged in as root, therefore using “sudo” without
another username is redundant.

I did remove anything called asterisk with rm -r
now
sudo find / -xdev |& grep --ignore-case asterisk
give no result
I tryed
sudo apt install asterisk

Building dependency tree… Done
Reading state information… Done
Package asterisk is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package ‘asterisk’ has no installation candidate
What should I do ?
Is there a file somewhere where I should write where the package is ?

Assuming you are using a current version of Debian (Bullseye or Bookworm) you
will need to add the “sid” repository to your apt sources and then specify
this when installing asterisk from it.
I suggest you create a file called “sid.list” under /etc/apt/sources.list.d
with the following content, and then install asterisk using “aptitude install
-t sid asterisk” or “apt-get install -t sid asterisk” (depending on your
preferred command for installing packages).

The content you require is the following two lines
deb Index of /debian sid main contrib non-free
deb-src Index of /debian sid main contrib non-free
Also, don’t forget to do “apt-get update” or “aptitude update” after creating
the file, so that the package manager knows about the new repository.

Out of interest, what documentation did you follow in order to build it?
Antony.
This is more than you actually need, although the only real harm would be if you operate a policy of only using open source code (because of the non-free setting, that allows closed source code). You shouldn’t be installing source packages except delibeartely.

Agreed, however:
a) it’ll do the job,
b) it doesn’t affect which categories are available from the current standard
release (whichever one is in use), so a Pure Open Source system isn’t going to
get contaminated, and
c) nothing will get installed from sid without being explicitly requested by
the user, so it’s not going to result in anything surprising when you just
install further new packages as normal.

Wanted: telepath. You know where to apply.
I used another way
I did follow this page
the advice was to add add-apt-repository -y -S "deb [ arch=amd64 ] http://deb.freepbx.org/freepbx17-prod bookworm main"
and then install asterisk with
apt-get -y install asterisk22 asterisk22-core asterisk22-configs libxslt1.1 liburiparser1
I did that
it now works
thank to all who have spend sometime trying to help.
