I just tested with Beta 1.3.7 and this issue no longer appears to be present. SteamVR properly starts up with no additional modifications necessary.
On debian buster I have to manually do a sudo setcap CAP_SYS_NICE=eip ~/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/SteamVR/bin/linux64/vrcompositor-launcher

Still needed, btw.
Can confirm, still an issue.
Yes, I have this issue right now in Debian on my avl-mxe linux setup.
Can someone re-open this? STILL an issue to this day.
Devuan (SysV) 5.10.140-1, kernel 5.10.0-18-amd64
Have you solved this issue, I'm also on devuan?
Nothing extracted yet.
Your system information
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
SteamVR 1.3.4 Beta will fail to launch due to the vrstartup.sh file failing. If I change the launch arguments in Steam to
konsole --hold -e %command%, I get the following output:If I manually comment out the zenity lines in the vrstartup.sh file, SteamVR will function properly.
My system DOES have getcap and setcap, but they are in sbin, and unavailable to the vrstartup script.
