Hello again! What seems to be the issue?

graceful sky
#

It appears you have the issue as this person

#

Could you post logs from AVLR

#

Np

graceful sky
#

These logs suggest a libcurl mismatch. I would recommend reinstalling these correctly to prevent those error reappearing!

graceful sky
#

You have an ambient cap error

#

sudo /home/felix/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/bin/linux64/vrcompositor-launcher

#

chmod +x /home/felix/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/bin/linux64/vrcompositor-launcher

#

sudo apt-get install [dependencies]

#

These commands will elevate your permissions, will check you have correct perms for running SteamVR and etc, and finally seeing if there are any missing dependencies during app execution! (Also make sure Steam is up to date: steam --version && steam -update

#

@visual void

#

Remind me your OS

#

So I don't give incorrect commands

#

Alright!

#

Those should work

#

replace [dependencies] with the name of the ones you need to reinstall!

#

Your log had a lot of output

#

I am currently going through it

#

Sorry?

#

oh lol

#

Chatgpt has a tendency to.... not be that well versed in specifics such as this

#

I tend to search forum posts

#

never hurts to go the extra step

#

If chatgpt could answer all technical queries correctly with fixes, there would be no point in this thread existing!

#

Also, it costs money

#

You have errors also relating to GTK themes

#

Something to do with adwaita

#

sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines
sudo apt-get install --reinstall arc-theme
sudo apt-get install libcef
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

#

To do with the GTK2 engine

#

You have installed incorrect sRGB profiles!

#

Normally not an issue. Annoying if it does popup though.

#

So that part of the log indicates issues with GTK themes, so a crashed virtual reality application! libpng warnings (related to your sRGB profiles), and missing shared libraries. Those commands should remedy this particular fault!

#

I am unsure how you went about installing this OS, but it appears you have some major issues here that could probably be solved by doing a fresh install rather than 101 different random commands that may not work!

#

Lots of missing files or files that don't have sufficient admin privileges to be executed!

#

Have you spoken to Axel or Plyshka?

#

They are the most well versed with these particular applications on Linux. Plysh develops ALVR for them after all!

#

Might be a simpler fix than what I am reading, however unlikely.

#

It appears you may have skipped some steps during OS install and application setup?

#

You could try.... Ubuntu?

#

🙂

#

Fair enough, sleep well!

#

Here is the output!

#

Which method are you using - standard port forwarding or the more complex USB connection...

#

the USB method has a bunch of different steps that just seems pointless if you have a good enough wi-fi connection!

#

You have already done this once, not sure this would make much difference.

#

Elevating your privileges should allow those errors to stop being outputted

#

As for handshake error, just be on the latest ALVR version

#

20.6 patched that issue to my knowledge!

#

Though on Linux.... can be a bit more complex

#

I am pretty sure handshake error doesn't make it unusable

#

as for the other errors.... not sure

#

I would recommend keeping your wi-fi on

#

Ah... I had that pop up on mine once and it just probably reconnected and then worked

#

fair enough

#

I think they went to sleep... the issue appears to be missing files and/or files that don't have sufficient privileges for them to execute in application

#

That can be rectified quite easily (in Windows at least, on Linux enabling sudo should sort it?)

#

Installing the missing files and bob's your uncle...! I'd think anyway

#

Some relating to GTK2 engine and libcurl

#

From a brief read of that log

#

That was it: missing shared libraries

#

"vrwebhelper" application is unable to find the "libcef.so" library

graceful sky
#

Didn't consider this!

#

The error would suggest this hasn't happened?

#

That is rather annoying

#

I suppose doing it through system is a more risky way of fixing something like this?

#

Comparable to making edits to the registry editor on Windows!

#

(I'd assume anyway!)

#

Their admittance to not following the guide could suggest that they may have done the same on other areas of the setup/DE installation? - Sys32 is auto updated during installation.. so that is fairly standard

#

A more streamlined method

#

Do you have the git for it, I could link it to others who find themselves in similar technical upheaval

#

I must say, this is a very effective method

#

Very concise, kudos

#

Sorting updating and uninstallation into one command is also very effective - makes it much less of a headache

#

A constant bitrate of 400mbps though, that is a hefty ask... most connections struggle to main above 40

#

at least where i live

#

I normally pull 100-200 when downloading steam games

#

internet speed

#

on ethernet

#

I'm reading the distrobox page

#

recommends 350-450mbps for h264 wireless - cabled 700

#

ah

#

Speed from headset to app

#

the standard internet speed test normally pings between 600-700 for me personally. when downloading though, it barely reaches a third of that speed

inner sage

Having this issue, did anyone fix it?
