Device restore fails after placing ipad into recovery mode

(On manjaro linux, recently updated ipad) After executing the command idevicerestore --latest I got this output:

My ipad is in recovery mode, and I don't own a mac or windows computer to use itunes to fix it with. On repeated attempts idevicerestore gives the error ERROR: Unable to discover device mode. Please make sure a device is attached.

Your problem might be that the recovery USB device file is not accessible by the user you are running idevicerestore with. Usually libirecovery installs a udev rule to make sure normal users have r/w access to the USB device files. Even though not recommended, you can try to run idevicerestore as root to see if that fixes the problem. The better way to fix this would be to make sure the udev rule is properly working, and the current user is in the group that the rule will set the permissions to. Maybe you can check what /lib/udev/rules.d/39-libirecovery.rules specifies, and then check with groups if you user is part of the mentioned group (usually plugdev or similar).

I ran as root and it made it past the segment that is was getting stuck, it's still working but it looks like that worked

edit: worked perfectly, thanks a lot!
