Custom build for Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal Fossa) / Mint 20.3 amd64
av1 not working
Requires updating the vulkan library from vulkan.lunarg.com/doc/sdk/1.3.283.0/linux/getting_started_ubuntu.html
wget -qO - https://packages.lunarg.com/lunarg-signing-key-pub.asc | sudo apt-key add -
sudo wget -qO /etc/apt/sources.list.d/lunarg-vulkan-1.3.283-focal.list https://packages.lunarg.com/vulkan/1.3.283/lunarg-vulkan-1.3.283-focal.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install vulkan-sdk
Requires updating system from PipeWire PPA repo and install sudo apt install libpipewire-0.3-0 pipewire, otherwise there will be no sound. This will replace pulseaudio to PipeWire!
Works on all actual SteamVR and beta
Fix "black screen":
SteamVR, Right Click, properties, launch options, add ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/bin/vrmonitor.sh %command%
(Very optional) If it also doesn't work then:
add launch options steam-runtime-launch-options -- %command% and set Container runtime to None
Added precompiled ADBForwarder to release.
When using an adb/usb cable, you need to set Stream protocol to tcp in the ALVR Connection settings
