Not just Manjaro/Arch. I'm also getting the same issue on Fedora 38.

It just repeats over, and over again.

You need to change the port to open in main.py.
The open port can be found using nmap with the command nmap -sT -O localhost
in main.py, you need to replace port 6969 with yours with any editor.

[mgdapm]

@qeff4 nmap returns multiple ports, how to know wich one to use?
139/tcp open netbios-ssn 445/tcp open microsoft-ds 631/tcp open ipp
running the same command when my iphone is connected and usb thethering is on (changing localhost to my phones ip)
21/tcp open ftp 53/tcp open domain 49152/tcp open unknown 62078/tcp open iphone-sync

Another problem rises when changing to an open port. I changed the code from 6969 to 8000 and it just refuses to start the server. I'm also on Fedora 38

In my case, the anisette server was never actually started. Because the download link that hard coded in main.py line 307 is:

r = requests.get(
                "https://github.com/Dadoum/Provision/releases/download/2.1.0/anisette_server-x86_64",
                allow_redirects=True,
)

that link has a typo (the valid link is https://github.com/Dadoum/Provision/releases/download/2.1.0/anisette-server-x86_64)
and that will download a "Not found" in ~/.local/share/altserver/anisette_server which further caused the anisette server can't start and no activity on port 6969.

[fireshaper]

@NekoRectifier This fixed the problem for me too. The link needs to be updated in the code.

Hi! Try the latest version of AltLinux and report if the issue still persists.
