[Solved] Hyprland black screen with either 303 or 496 | ALVR | Page 1

Hi there 🙂

Did anyone actually succeed in getting it to run on Hyprland ?
I did everything that is pinned and I've no idea what to do...

I always end up at 303.
When I use the SteamPlayNone compatibility tool it at least changes to 496 which still results in a black screen.

I tried every combination up to this :/

SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=nvidia WAYLAND_DISPLAY='' VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb %command%

ALVR + SteamVR runs on KDE X11 for me but there steam often crashes the whole plasma shell ( besides I rather prefer to game on hyprland as well )

The logs dont look interesting either..
When using SteamPlayNone there are at least some errors...

I'm on a laptop if that matters but I enabled the mux so only the nvidia driver should be loaded.

Yeah I do but I enabled the mux so that the intel iGpu is deactivated.

I need to do this in X11 KDE as well.
Otherwise there's a black screen either, no error tho

#

Wow after using the compatibility tool I cant revert it to the linux version 😮
/home/crashdummy/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/bin/win32/vrstartup.exe: /home/crashdummy/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/bin/win32/vrstartup.exe: cannot execute binary file

#

Activating beta and deactivating it did the trick again 🙂

But yeah on X11 its working.

I'd pretty much prefer an error 😆
That'd at least help me narrow the issue down

#

Well al of them :/

intel_hasvk_icd.i686.json intel_hasvk_icd.x86_64.json intel_icd.i686.json intel_icd.x86_64.json lvp_icd.i686.json lvp_icd.x86_64.json nouveau_icd.i686.json nouveau_icd.x86_64.json nvidia_icd.json radeon_icd.i686.json radeon_icd.x86_64.json

I set VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json tho

he "updated" it to windows again -.-
damn steam sucks

#

Back to steamcmd I guess

#

yeah but I can at least force the steamcmd to install the linux steamvr and not upgrade to the windows one

#

😮 didnt test that

#

possibly

#

I quit steam and removed every remainder of steamvr.
Maybe itll heal itself after that

#

:/

#

yeay...

#

huh

#

Yeah no idea I guess Ill blck it.

Its finally working again ( at least on X11 ).
I dont quite get the interface tho..

Theres no option to disable autoupdates only an option to disable background downloads ( which might be the same I guess )

#

Feels like windows

#

Thanks for the help 🙂
Ill try again once Im back from vacation

#

Sorry for taking up your time and thanks a lot for your help

@austere umbra
I finally got it working just now 🙂
I guess my laptop just behaves like a bitch.
I just needed to reboot for a few times-
For ssome time now I always need to modprobe nvidia_drm into a tty when I start with enabled mux as the driver wont load otherwise...

It's literally working great... far better than on KDE X11 .
I really only require QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb %command% for SteamVR .

I'm however still facing the weird update bug.
I need to find out how to start ALVR + STEAMVR without steam at all.
Maybe this will do the trick:

Starting ALVR.AppImage
Register Driver
~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/reaper SteamLaunch AppId=250820 -- ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-launch-wrapper -- ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/bin/vrstartup.sh

I honestly don't know.
Must've something to do with the current Nvidia driver as everything is fine in 535.

When I'm on the Nvidia card it's at least flickering like crazy and on X11 it often crashes the plasma shell.
Does ALVR really require to keep the steamclient running as well ?

#

There are quite a lot games I can play without steam running in the background.
And I think that I could maybe execute steam in gamescope or something like this afterwards

#

I don't care about that Interface anyways.
I wrote my own launcher that sets the required envs 🙃

And yeah there are quite a few games with no drm.
The last two games I played that automatically spawned steam were Arizona sunshine 2 and the wizards.
I guess the reason behind that are the multiplayer features.

I'd rather prefer just letting my laptop do all the wiring.
The update crap makes using steam even more annoying.

My own launcher downloads games through steamcmd which actually works really well and I can even use the steamapi to check which games I own.
