Needs PRESSURE_VESSEL_FILESYSTEMS_RO="/usr/lib/steamvr/alvr/" to make it work. Please include this.

the icon doesnt work for me because the alvr.pngs are owned by root and has 600 perms so only root can view it

As far as i tested, with mandatory vrmonitor launch argument, i did not need PRESSURE_VESSEL_FILESYSTEMS_RO anymore.

If anyone still requires it for alvr to function, please let me know, otherwise i will unpin current comments.

This package, along with alvr-nvidia, simply doesn't work. I don't know why exactly, but I've been unsuccessfully trying to to connect alvr to steamVR for 2 days. It has always failed at detecting the device. Everything suddenly worked when I switched to the alvr-launcher AUR package instead.

All I can really do is add a message on install, since this probably has to go into Steam's launch settings for SteamVR
