Did you set up the USB udev rules as well? Can you capture a system report when that happens?
/var/log/syslog
says
Feb 22 05:11:57 stimpy kernel: [ 307.294059] vrcompositor[3599]: segfault at 0 ip (null) sp 00007fff23a956f8 error 14 in vrcompositor[400000+2a9000]
If you mean another report, please tell me what you want me to paste.
Thanks.
PS: Yes, I set up the udev rules.
Are you disabling the Steam runtime by any chance? You need the 64-bit libvulkan build from the Steam runtime as it has support for unreleased extensions vrcompositor needs.
No, I'm not disabling the Steam runtime.
At least, not that I know.
I simply double-click "SteamVR [beta]" in Steam, I didn't modify anything.
When I launch from the command-line, I see this:
norbert@stimpy ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/bin/linux64 $ ls libsteam_api.so
libsteam_api.so
norbert@stimpy ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/bin/linux64 $ ./vrcompositor
./vrcompositor: error while loading shared libraries: libsteam_api.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I don't know if that's useful information or not.
I can confirm, exact same thing happening here.
Only difference really is hardware / Linux flavor;
1080GTX, Debian Sid, manually installed NVIDIA 375.27.10.
By manually unplugging and plugging in the Lighthouses, I managed to get one of them at a time to wake up, but they would never sync, then dmesg showed the same segfault and vrcompositor also complains if I run it individually that the libsteam_api.so is missing. Possibly corrupt?
This is an improvement over it not launching at all though!
I do not mean to interfere much here, as I do not have a vive, but did you try prepending the current path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH? Unlike windows, Linux does not automatically load shared objects from the current directory. This will probably not be enough, though.
norbert@stimpy ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/bin/linux64 $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/bin/linux64:LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./vrcompositor
To check that the steam runtime is enabled, just launch steam in a command prompt, it will display its status in the first lines (unless some shared objects were deleted from the steam directory, in which case the runtime is disabled regardless for those libraries).
Having a similar issue here. Controllers are green and show up as tracking in the status window - but in Room Setup it says both the headset and the controllers are Off.
I get an "Error Starting SteamVR" window too with the message: "SteamVR is not available because a supported headset was not detected." and head set display is black.
I have two NVIDIA GTX 1070, installed steam beta and steamvr beta and NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-375.27.10.run as mentioned in the README.md on opensuse.
Either if I connect the headset to the first or second graphics adapter the display isn't detected.
From the vrserver.log I did find

One difference I noticed is if I connect the headset to the first adapter where the main monitors are connected steamVR beta displays 'not ready'. If I connect the headset to the second graphics adapter steamVR beta shows "ready" and vrcompositor open a windows showing the empty room.
I get the
SteamVR is not available because a supported headset was not detected.
message too, but I can just click okay and everything works, so this message probably doesn't say much.
Initially for me vrmonitor showed headset, controllers and basestations in green as connected, but the room setup didn't work, it said headset and controllers are not connected. When I tried a couple of minutes later, it did work just fine. I think in the meantime I just switched to using Valve's udev rules.
Anyway, all of the tools are not too stable right now, so take a look at the running processes, sometimes killing a defunct vrmonitor or so can already help.
Interesting, so basically my problem seems the base stations won't sync/track. That's specifically what it is telling me now "Your base stations are not syncing, please make sure they are set up properly." I'll test this again in Windows (they were working there, I adjusted them a tad last night when I was attempting to get this working in Linux.)
I get similar to other above:
"SteamVR is not available because a supported headset was not detected."
A "Conned Failed dialog" (306), all components show green, and a "Waiting... Starting SteamVR Room Setup" but never anything displayed in the headset.

I got it running by adding Option "AllowHMD" "yes" to the X server config device section (see http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/378.09/README/xconfigoptions.html) and configuring the display with nvidia-settings as part of the :0 X config.
After starting SteamVR the message
`SteamVR is not available because a supported headset was not detected.`
is still displayed but the head set is up and shows the empty room.
I also updated to the latest nvidia beta driver (378.09) - I'm not sure if this is required.

For me, adding the "AllowHMD" option toggles only the availability of the display in nvidia-settings and the displaying of a 2D desktop background on the HMD. The room setup fails as before. With a "306" error, by the way. I don't see that one listed here.
I'm not sure what you mean by "configuring the display with nvidia-settings as part of the :0 X config". For me, the HMD automatically uses "Configuration: X screen 0" according to nvidia-settings.
Next up, I will try the "Latest Short Lived Branch" version 378.13.
I'll report back with results in this thread.

I believe only the 375.27.10 developer beta works. SteamVR needs some Vulkan extensions that aren't in any other version.

@rhabacker, who "got it running", wrote: "I also updated to the latest nvidia beta driver (378.09) - I'm not sure if this is required."
Anyway, I'm now using 378.13, and some things are different. It can no longer find the base stations and no longer automatically starts the room setup, but the display is "Ready". Room setup still fails, of course, because the base stations aren't green.
That's weird. With the latest drivers I couldn't even get Room Setup to start. Using the developer drivers fixed that.
I also tried 375.39 just now, but same problem.
And now I'm back to 375.27.10, but for some reason it can still no longer find the base stations.
Plus, of course, the "306" error is back and the HMD is "Not Ready".
Okay, I just discovered that pressing a controller button makes the base stations green.
(I just tried moving around the HMD before.)
So, I'm now going to go back to 378.13 and then 375.39, since these had the HMD "Ready".
[Edit:]
Both of those don't run the room setup.
The log file ends with: "Failed to fetch KHX shared memory extension functions!"
Plus it includes:
No GPU timing Vulkan device in CVRCompositorSharedTextures::StartVulkanCommandBuffer!
No Vulkan command buffer open in CGpuTiming::MarkEvent!
No command buffer in flight in CVRCompositorSharedTextures::FinishVulkanCommandBuffer!
I got to the point where the headset and both controllers were shown as tracking and Ready - but then in room setup they all said Off.
To reiterate, the nvidia 375.27.10 beta driver has some experimental vulkan extensions which are required for SteamVR. Until these extensions are published by Khronos, only nvidia's vulkan beta driver and the pre-release build of radv support these extensions. The mainline nvidia driver is not supported at this time.
Is there anyone (non-Valve employees) who uses an Nvidia card who has gotten SteamVR to work on Linux?
If you have, please give us information about your hardware and software.
Window manager, gpu, how you installed the 375.27.10 driver, etc.
Thanks.
I think the status-window detects the HMD via USB. But the Room Setup searches for the HDMI, and this is what normally happens:
Thu Feb 23 2017 16:17:54.900925 - lighthouse: Enumerating displays...
Thu Feb 23 2017 16:17:54.900938 - lighthouse: SDL says there are 1 video displays
Unless you've set AllowHMD and also probably turned on the display. Which isn't direct mode, and which would contradict "The NVIDIA driver supports direct mode, meaning the HMD will not appear on your desktop, or if it does, the display will have to be turned off in xrandr before being able to use VR."
I've fixed the issue! :grin:
And Serious Sam VR: The First Encounter even works for me now, on Linux.
@Plagman suggested I'd apt-get remove libvulkan1 (and vulkan-utils).
That did the trick.
I think - not 100% sure - that these were installed by Vrui.
closing this issue - there are a bunch of unrelated things in this thread, so feel free to open a new issue on them.
I'm not sure what you mean by "configuring the display with nvidia-settings as part of the :0 X
config". For me, the HMD automatically uses "Configuration: X screen 0" according to nvidia-settings.
@EndeavourAccuracy: After adding option "AllowHMD" "yes" to the xorg.conf and restarting X server nvidia-settings show the headset HDMI display as disabled. I had to enable it.
Nothing extracted yet.
I launch SteamVR by going to the Library and double-clicking "SteamVR [beta]".
The top right "VR" icon does not appear to do anything.
I get an "Error Starting SteamVR" window, with the message:
"SteamVR is not available because a supported headset was not detected."
For standing only, the room setup utility says "Headset Off".
For room scale, the same text, plus "Controller Off" twice.
The status window says "Connect Failed".
The status window shows green for everything except one controller.
That controller's led is blue.
I've followed the procedure to update the base stations' firmware.
It worked for one, not for the other.
(No matter how many tries and variations of USB port, order, etc.)
