Hi,
I am trying to run asterisk 1.4.24 on openSUSE 11.0, asterisk was installed from openSUSE repository and I set it up with help of the book, Asterisk: The future of telephony.
When I try to start asterisk with /etc/init.d/asterisk start it say:
[quote]mpg123: no process killed
Asterisk ended with exit status 1
Asterisk died with code 1.
Automatically restarting Asterisk.[/quote]
I work arround this issue but I can’t find a solution.
Any help will be very appreciated.
Thanks.

There are no other replies so I will take a stab at it.
I have destroyed a few Asterisks installations by screwing around. The last time I saw this error was with OpenSUSE and it turned out to be a permissions problem somewhere. I also read someone failed to load (or properly install) the DAHDI package (Zaptel drivers) which caused this issue. In either case you should have some additional information documented in /var/log/asterisk/full
Try ‘tail /var/log/asterisk/full’ to see if you can get any additional information.
Thanks! 
I found the problem, I think that was an issue with the drivers; we are trying to make a software appliance with asterisk-GUI but with no hardware, for demo porpouses, then the drivers for some hardware were unnecessary.
The problem stopped when I removed the following packages:
[quote]asterisk-capi
asterisk-dahdi
asterisk-alsa
asterisk-sandsp
asterisk-spandsp
asterisk-perl[/quote]
We are keeping only this packages installed related to asterisk (obtained from that repository http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:telephony:asterisk/openSUSE_11.0) :
[quote]asterisk
asterisk-addons
dahdi-tools
dahdi-tools-devel
iksemel
mISDNuser-devel[/quote]
I hope this helps others!
