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)

Updated to latest version now

This package is not the latest version this version contains a major bug that is fixed in a later release(please manually change the version yourself or do not use this package and manually build it yourself - you can use the pkgbuild as a guide)

In fact, re the packagename, firewalld has a "system failure" due to the badly-named ruleset: .... ERROR: INVALID_NAME: name can't be empty .... ERROR: Failed to load full stock configuration. This likely indicates a system level issue, e.g. the firewall backend (nftables, iptables) is broken. All hope is lost. Exiting.

Well no wonder the firewalld rules didn't "just work" ; Line 90 in the PKGBUILD refers to the filepath as "${_pkgname}.xml" ; _pkgname as a variable doesn't exist. It should be without the underscore. :-)

The steamvr 2.0 beta switches to using the new steam sniper runtime which uses containers to replace the /usr/ directory.

As this PKGBUILD installs the openvr driver there, it cannot be loaded on the beta.

https://github.com/alvr-org/ALVR/issues/1844

"The host system's /usr, /bin, /sbin and /lib* appear below /run/host in the container. For example, a Fedora host system might provide /run/host/usr/lib64/libz.so.1." - Source

*now actually fixed

I encountered similar issues as @greyfusg as the firewall installs seem to have the same packaging issues:

packaging/firewall/ -> alvr/xtask/firewall

And I think the latest fix has a typo:

$_pkgname.desktop -> $pkgname.desktop

m00nw4tch3r commented on 2023-08-29 01:37 (UTC)

Fixed

When I install it, it cannot package the application, but it compiles fine.
