Describe the bug
I can use SteamVR just fine, but if I close it (e.g. with "Exit VR") I'm unable to start it back again.
First the vrmonitor window hangs for up to a minute (its contents don't get updated at all), then this is displayed in the SteamVR window:

steamvr

I am using Steam Beta with SteamVR Beta on an up-to-date Arch Linux, Radeon RX 5700 XT (RADV) and a Valve Index.

Here are the vrmonitor logs:

Update: Looks like closing SteamVR messes up the whole USB controller - my keyboard stops working completely after a while after SteamVR is closed and replugging it doesn't do anything, only rebooting helps.

While shutting down the PC after using SteamVR I get this message:

[FAILED] Failed unmounting /run/user/1000.
[10139.686668] usb 2-2.1: Failed to suspend device, error -110
[10152.462465] usb 1-9: device descriptor read/64, error -110

The usb 1-9 message then repeats itself once every few seconds until I manually shutdown the PC.

I had a similar issue on an old MSI X370 board where the Index would spontaneously crash the onboard USB controller. Eventually a kernel update seemed to have fixed it.

Which motherboard and CPU do you have? Which USB port(s) on the motherboard are you using?

I have a MSI B450-A PRO MAX and a Ryzen 3700X.

I have since switched the USB port I'm using the Index with (it was on bus 1 or 2, now it's 3 or 4, I'm not sure), and either that, or some random kernel update mostly fixed the issue for me - it happened maybe once in the past month, while previously it was basically every second try.

Nothing extracted yet.
