Do I have this correct?
From what I read HUDLite will not run on TB 2.8 becasue of Asterisk 1.6. Is that true?
Would ASTassistant be an option?
 
HUD Lite on 2.8

Mon, 06/22/2009 - 9:21am
HUDlite is no longer being updated and is not compatible with Asterisk 1.6. trixbox 2.8 will not have any hudlite update because 2.8 is designed to work with HUD3.
FOP also currently does not work at this time but there are plans to update FOP to work with asterisk 1.6.
 
Thanks, I will go back and

Thanks, I will go back and use 2.6.2.2.
I will give 2.8 a whirl when the FOP and HUD is rolling again.
Thanks

Can't get 2.6 to install
Tue, 07/21/2009 - 1:30pm
Well that sucks for me because I can't get 2.6 to install to this dell sc1425.
Just hangs at loading anaconda.
 
There's no official release
Wed, 07/22/2009 - 2:37pm
There's no official release date, I can tell you that we are testing it out of here so it does exist :)
We will be announcing the pricing options for HUD as soon as we know. If you want to keep a free version of HUD then my suggestion would be to stay on the 2.6 series as HUDlite hasn't been in production for some time and will not be available for 2.8.
 
seems strange
Thu, 07/30/2009 - 1:22am
I'm new to Trixbox and have spent a bit of time over the last few days playing around with it. I managed to get Hudlite connecting and I could see all my extensions etc, everything seemed to be working a-ok apart from the fact I couldnt right-click and make extension calls (nothing would happen). It just seems strange that they would go to all that trouble to design the software up to that point and then just leave it unfinished for 2.8 right at the end bit.

In bios change system installation mode to off and if it is already of turn it on it should fix the installation issue. After this if you still have problem then your bios need update.
Hope this will help.

Since there is no availability of HUD3 yet... And it's been promised for over a year, I'm not getting my hopes up, but here are a few questions and comments:
1. The lack of HUD3 is the ONLY thing keeping me from going to Trixbox 2.8. I would migrate IF I could get access to a beta HUD3, or had somewhat of an idea when I could expect it to be available - EVEN IF I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT.
2. Is there anything else out there that behaves like HUD for Trixbox 2.8 (Asterisk 1.6)??
 
1. HUD3 will be out some
Sun, 08/30/2009 - 5:16pm
1. HUD3 will be out some time this year and it will be a pay product.
2. there are a few other products. FOP now works on trixbox 2.8.
I would recommend staying on trixbox 2.6 until HUD3 is released.
 
No offense andrew but I
Thu, 09/03/2009 - 10:10am
No offense andrew but I don't think there is a single person in the community that believes you for 1 second that HUD3 is actually going to be released this year.
It has been over 2 years in development and..... Yep, nothing...
 
HUD 3 is out but not for Trixbox CE
Sun, 10/18/2009 - 4:16am
Perhaps I have this wrong but I understand that HUD3 is out but it has not been made available for Trixbox CE. Is it a matter of priority?
 
1000 to 1 Odds
Tue, 10/20/2009 - 7:55am
I would say, "NO", the people at Fonality couldn't care less about what software they make available to the community. This same fabled version has been promised for over 2 years and has been regularly postponed at least a dozen times. The latest is that it will be released within 72 days, but it will no longer be free. I am currently taking 1000 to 1 odds on this, but any half wit will tell you to save your money. I am personally not getting my hopes up, there have been no regular feedback from fonality or alpha/beta releases. My suggestion is to take a look a iSymphony, it's free for systems with 5 users or less, but that sixth user is gonna cost you an arm and a leg.

Hi,
I sent an email to trixbox recently stating that there (currently) are no plans for integrating HUD 3.0 into trixbox CE. I asked for a license price for it, but it can be only had with trixbox pro. If you need a nice TAPI solution, then TapiCall is quite nice, but will cost you roundabout 70USD per seat, a litte bit cheaper and also nice is xtelsio.

Jens

Wed, 10/21/2009 - 12:35pm
We are working on HUD3 for CE. This will be a closed source pay product. We have had a lot of feature requests from the trixbox PRO user community. These people have already paid for HUD so their requests come first. Once these are done the HUD development team can work on CE some more. The cool thing is once HUD3 for CE is done CE will get all these features as well.
 
That are good news,

That are good news,
I understand your arguments very well, but your sales rep. sent me an email saying that there were no current plans for HUD 3 on trixbox CE. If he would have said to me what you are saying , I might have decided to wait for it as HUD 2 already is quite good and offers some added functionality compared to regular TAPI clients. Maybe you should communicate a rough schedule and pricing as I think there would be quite a few people willing to pay for HUD.
Regards,
Jens

Wed, 10/21/2009 - 4:08pm
Sales people make a habit of not talking about products we don't have for sale yet. As you may have noticed we don't always make our deadlines :) If you have any questions about products that don't officially exist yet you can PM me. I'll give you my best guess as to when or if they will be available.
Some companies like Apple don't talk about products at all until they are for sale. That way if they miss a deadline nobody knows. I like to be open an tell the community what we are working on but we have very limited resources so it sometimes takes longer then we want to get things done.

What would you do as a
Fri, 10/30/2009 - 7:13am
What would you do as a business decision? Would you focus on providing a really cool product that is one of the primary selling points for your commercial product, or would you move resources over to getting the product working on the free version of your product? In the first case, you will sell more high-priced/high profit systems, and with the other decision you will sell a small number of relatively low cost (in comparison) HUD licenses or even make another free version that will generate zero revenue/profit to the company.
I haven't seen any statement that says there will be HUD3 for CE by the end of the year and considering that is only 60 days away, I am not very hopeful that it will arrive under the Christmas tree unless Andrew can pull off some miracle and get the resources he needs from the HUD development team.

Kerry,
It appears as if you are taking offense because people are voicing their displeasure here. If your comment actually indicates the company's overall status on being a profit based company and profits are of a higher priority than the open source model, then why bother with a CE version at all? If I were to answer your question honestly, I would say that if all I cared about were profits, I would drop the CE line, move all of those resources into development of the commercial versions of Trixbox and also put the extra resources into developing HUD for the commercial versions of Trixbox and also see if it could be adapted for sale for use on other Asterisk Based PBX systems, such as PBX in a flash and others. My displeasure lies in the fact that HUD Lite was dropped from the updated system before a replacement was available. I don't recall seeing anyone in this post say anything derogatory about HUD going commercial, just that there's a hole in 2.8 where HUD lite was before. My suggestion would have been to wait until HUD 3 was ready to go before dropping HUD lite.

Mon, 12/14/2009 - 9:31am
I am not taking offense at all. I am simply playing devil's advocate here and I believe you responded as honestly as possible by stating what you would do as a pure business decision. You can still use HUDLite, you just have be be on 2.6 or previous versions. HUD3 will require the components that are in CE 2.8 so it makes sense to get that build out and make sure its solid even if HUD3 isnt ready yet. I would most certainly say that Fonality is more geared towards profit than being an open source company, nothing in the company history would show otherwise. They have to be focused on profit in order to stay in business and CE has to pay for itself in order to stay alive there as well. Things like the auditing tool that many people disable is how partners help fund the CE project (so disabling it hurts the project), CE support, advertising on trixbox.org, and several other revenue sources help pay for Andrew and his team. If CE was a cost center and not a profit center, it probably would have been killed off by now as that would be a prudent business decision.
 
Back to the point
Mon, 12/14/2009 - 10:32am
Is there any new projected timeline for Hud3 to work with 2.8?
Is there any projected cost model yet?
If there is no motivation to get the project done for the CE community, I understand. I'm just looking for some actionable information.

i tested Isymphony and it is a great product, but is not FREE like HUDlite was...
but is definitely a good product to offer the clients that willing to pay.
Guys, i've been testing FOP2 looks like a good product for the price just $40 usd, i know that FOP2 can't be running at the same time with The FOP builting in trixbox, can someone tell me how uninstall the FOP and just use FOP2?

iSymphony does have a free edition that is comparable to HUDlite. Also If you register on the site you get a license with 5 clients for free.
