Getting the hack to work on Manjaro

hugeblank opened this issue · 0 comments

I generally like to leave more detailed issues with a general explanation of what's probably happening but I have no idea. The best I can offer is a general sequence of commands I ran. I own an iPhone 7, and am using a USB-C to lightning cable, as that's the only one that seems to actually get the device to display on lsusb.

Libararies:
libusb: 1.0.24-2
libimobiledevice: 1.3.0-5
gstreamer: 1.18.5-1

Hardware:
Operating System: Manjaro Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.90.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Kernel Version: 5.16.5-1-MANJARO (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11

What I tried:
Let's start off with the latest version of qvh pulled directly from github, trying to activate the device:

^C
    ~/Downloads  qvh devices                  INT ✘

note the ^C. It keeps getting stuck in a loop there. Looks like #99 is fixing this. Checking the devices after attempting to activate shows that screen mirroring was enabled so I'll proceed on to qvh gstreamer. No luck. I ran the gstreamer command again with the -v flag, dumping stderr into this file: stderr.log. Unplugging and re-plugging the device.

Just on the off chance its an access issue, let's try with sudo:

    ~/Downloads  qvh devices                  ✔ 
{"devices":[{"deviceName":"iPhone","screen_mirroring_enabled":false,"udid":"cfda1e3e28bb88541edb6433f9b1884785b67ba4","usb_device_info":"vid=05ac,pid=12a8,bus=5,addr=11"}]}
    ~/Downloads  sudo qvh activate            ✔

Welp. was worth a shot. seems to have gotten rid of the bad accesses at least! debug log: stderr.log

Alright, I guess I'll try my luck with v0.5.

no luck: stderr.log

... I give up. If I can provide anymore information/insight into configurations, or run additional commands, I have no problem doing so. I assume that I'm dealing with a variety of issues that already exist but I can't for the life of me verify whether they are the problem I'm having. For example, some of the problems I'm having look a lot like #37, but I'm not getting any segfaults. If someone wants to provide an overview of each problem I'm having (libusb error code -1, libusb error code -3, and Could not retrieve config) and why they're happening that would be a great help.
