No video output in Linux on SteamVR 2.5.4 and ALVR 20.8.1 #2115
Comments
Can confirm! Edit : Go to beta and select "Previous version" latest steam VR update broke something. the previous version is working flawlessly on the newest ALVR version. |
The same with me (Pico4). Reverting back to the SteamVR previous version solves the problem. |
Same issue on a Pico 4. Thanks for mention of "Previous version". I went back to 1.27 and that version just seems primitive. |
Same problem here but changing the version of Steam VR doesn't work. Note: I'm using quest 2 |
Same issue update for 5/21/2024Reference Links Tested to use Bate 2.6.1 or 2.5.5 on steamvr, I'm using the ALVR version of v20.8.1.
Updated with 5/26/2024Reference Linkes #698

Also experiencing the same issue, and can confirm that using the "previous" beta channel resolved it. |
Pretty sure this is the same issue as #1928 . Short answer: SteamVR v2.5 and newer don't work with ALVR at the moment. |
What version are you all using? I tried 20.8.1 with previous and latest and alvr does not detect SteamVR. I tried 20.7.1 and latest has black screen and previous has handshake issues (I tried USB and Wi-FI, both aren't working). |
Unfortunately for me, switching to an older version doesn't seem to resolve this issue for the Quest 2 I own. Everything appears to work fine as well, the only error I ever find in the logs tab is related to pipewire audio because my system doesn't use pipewire and a wired connection also produces the same result. |
When the SteamVR 2.5 came out of beta, I had the same issue with not being able to see anything in my Quest 3 HMD. Back then rolling back to the Previous beta fixed the issue, and I could keep playing. However, somewhere around the time when the hotfix 2.5.5 was released, the Previous beta received an update causing it to no longer work either. I have been trying to resolve the issue for the last few days without success. It is strange that they apparently updated the Previous beta without any notice. Reportedly the Previous has just been the version 2.4.4 ever since 2.5 released, but something changed about it, and now there seems to be no way to get SteamVR to work. I hope SteamVR will be fixed soon, and if you have any workarounds for the time being, please let me know. |
I too noticed this sudden change in the previous branch and steamvr stopped working for me as well(i noticed on friday), after some testing i found that installing and enabling steam-play-none for steamvr made everything work again. It seems like some issue with the container that Steamvr runs in, only valve can fix it. Steam-play-none runs linux native games/tools outside of their set containers. |
If you're having issues even with older versions (2.4.4 and earlier) - try this workaround. I'm on Fedora 40 running KDE Plasma desktop (X11 session). Here's my current working configuration: |
I would suggest closing this issue and instead following ValveSoftware/SteamVR-for-Linux#698 |
That link to the issue 698 for SteamVR does have a solution to the problem. Set the launch option for SteamVR: "~/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/SteamVR/bin/vrmonitor.sh" %command% (Adjust the path as necessary for your system) No more previous version needed |
Can confirm this works as intended <3 |
I can confirm the same, after a couple of tries this was the "only" working solution. I use Kde 6 wayland (Manjaro). |
Hello, may I ask how you have steam-play-none set up? |
Just follow the readme here: |
@ahojlinki I don't know if he does, but I have it setup, and I'm still getting no video streamed to the headset. |
Thank you for your answer. If you ever manage to resolve the error, please let me know how you solved it. |
I simply followed the instructions for installing via ProtonUp-Qt as posted here. Be advised though: A better workaround was posted a few comments ago. It does not require you to use Steam-Play-None and works with any version of SteamVR, including latest beta. (Although I get the best performance in SteamVR v1.27.5) |
I can confirm this solution worked for me on two different PCs on the latest stable. Thanks a lot peeps! |
I can say this worked for me, thanks! |
sad to say the use of the beta participation work around does not work as of June 12th, SteamVR pushed and update, making 2.5.5 the current previous build. I hope this issue gets resolved soon because now steamVR is completely borked on linux |

Description
Headset has no video (just black) once connected. On Desktop, if you click display VR View, you can see the window being tracked by the device.
Was previously working before SteamVR update on ALVR version 20.7.1
Going back to 20.7.1 gets the same behavior now, so it looks to be SteamVR update related .
