list_apps module failing

[ndoell]

Issue

Hi I am running the module list_apps however it is failing at plutil does not exist. I'm wondering if plutil should be running as a local command and not on the Apple device?

Expected behaviour

List of applications on the connected iPAD should be displayed.

Actual behaviour

Hi @ndoell, have you previously run an operation with set SETUP_DEVICE True which installs the relevant tools on the device? If so, did it execute without errors? Maybe post the log of running list_apps with set SETUP_DEVICE True.

[ndoell]

@tghosth it failed to install the tools.

Hi @ndoell, as you can see from the error log you posted above:

failed in buffer_write(fd) (7, ret=-1): backend dpkg-deb during `./usr/bin/faker': No space left on device

the device you are using has no space left on disk. If you want to install other tools you'll have to free up some space first.

[ndoell]

Strange it says 9.9GB free.

[marco-lancini]

In what partition?

[ndoell]

Ah sorry I checked on Storage & iCloud Usage which was wrong. My root and /dev is full.

root# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/disk0s1s1 2.9G 2.9G 0 100% / devfs 53K 53K 0 100% /dev /dev/disk0s1s2 12G 1.8G 11G 16% /private/var /dev/disk0s1s3 10M 2.0M 8.0M 20% /private/var/wireless/baseband_data

[tghosth]

Full up disk appears to be a known issue after jailbreaking. Do some googling but on my device I had to install "stashing". Don't have the explanatory link handy.

[ndoell]

I was able to clear some space and needle installed the necessary tools. Finally list_apps was able to execute successfully.

Thank you for the help @tghosth

[marco-lancini]

@tghosth : where you following this?

[tghosth]

@marco-lancini, yeah thats the solution I am using...

[ndoell]

@marco-lancini and @tghosth

Stashing install actually failed for me with this error: "failed in buffer_write(fd) (8, ret=-1)" . I had to rename /.cydia_no_stash to /.cydia_no_stash- and restart cydia. Installing stashing then worked.

thanks both! :)

I wrote a small writeup on the topic: http://www.marcolancini.it//2016/blog-ios9-jailbreak/

[theSha1chemist]

@marco-lancini thanks for the writeup. The sim linking command fails though. removing the trailing slashes works:

iPhone:~ root# ln -s /private/var/Fonts/ /System/Library/Fonts/ ln: target `/System/Library/Fonts/' is not a directory: No such file or directory iPhone:~ root# ln -s /private/var/Fonts System/Library/Fonts
