Might be possible to do something about that with: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-runtime/blob/master/doc/steamlinuxruntime-known-issues.md#sharing-directories-with-the-container

But you can also just force steamvr to launch without a runtime. (https://github.com/Scrumplex/Steam-Play-None)

version 20.8.0 is broken on linux according to their discord they will probably fix it in the next dot release but for now they recommend people say on the previous version

Same as below. I would guess it's related to this:

$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/alvr
... You are in 'detached HEAD' state. ...

* 15ea173 - (2 weeks ago) v20.7.1 - m00nwtchr (HEAD)
* 06734be - (9 weeks ago) Split packages, add libva - m00nwtchr (origin/master)

I fail to upgrade from 20.6.1-2 to 20.7.1-2, the reason is, it tries to install 20.6.1-2 instead:

yay exits with 0 but alvr is not upgraded.

This wasn't building/installing, simply giving an error that there was no branch selected.

The solution was to manually navigate to the cached repository that was being used for building: cd /home/username/.cache/yay/alvr/

and then simply do git checkout master

then try yay -S alvr again and it should install.

Hello,

This currently doesn't build in a clean chroot, with the following errors:

A clean chroot does not include any package beyond base and base-devel groups by default I believe, and all packages used to build are pulled from the PKGBUILD's makedepends array, and their own dependencies.

I've done some research and a quick test and it seems adding https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/libva/ to makedepends lets it build properly.

It is possible to test building the package in a clean chroot by using extra-x86_64-build from https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/devtools/ while in the AUR package's git repo.

Build currently fails on my machine. Was able to fix by installing cuda and cuda-tools, and exporting PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/cuda/bin.

Firewalld now includes usr/lib/firewalld/services/alvr.xml, which conflicts with this package. See: https://github.com/alvr-org/ALVR/issues/1931#issuecomment-1859245369 https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/firewalld/

@eevil just try to upgrade your system before. Or install it from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/alvr-git
