I know this bug might be happening due to the startup procedure working differently in 1.27.1, but I want to communicate that if we will make it working using what we have - there are parts that are broken so it will be on team's radar.

Describe the bug
Trying to get "Settings" panel running renders no result.
Trying to open "Tutorial" app fails.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Get SteamVR 1.26.7 bin/vrstartup.sh
    Here is mine, GitHub doesn't like the .sh so I've made it .sh.txt
    vrstartup.sh.txt
  2. Update to SteamVR Beta 1.27.1
    2a. (observe that it can't launch)
  3. Replace invalid 1.27.1 bin/statup.sh file with the content of 1.26.7
  4. Launch SteamVR from steam client

... wait for the panel to pop up

  1. Open hamburger (3 horizontal lines) dropdown and observe:
  • Room Setup seems to work
  • Tutorial crashes
    tutorial-1.27.1-crash.log
  • Recenter doesn't provide any logs, but I've verified that it works in vr
  • Display VR View seems to work correctly with suboptions, including the case of headset getting idle (then there is splashscreen with steam logo)
  • Display Perfomance graph works
  • Devices suboptions seem to work, but I haven't checked out everything, only update panel and bluetooth settings.
  • Workshop seems to work
  • Create System Report works
  • Settings is ignored/crashing without any logs
  • Developer suboptions seem to work
  • Help suboptions seem to work
  • Quit works

Expected behavior
I expect Settings button to open settings panel.
I expect Tutorial to bring up tutorial app.

System Information (please complete the following information):

  • Distribution: Arch (kernel 6.3.9 arch1-1)
  • SteamVR version: ^
  • Steam client version: 1692041866
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: Could you finally give this info in "About Steam" panel near the version? - I don't remember
  • Graphics driver version: Mesa 23.1.5
  • Gist for SteamVR System Information:
    SteamVR-2023-08-15-PM_02_33_35.txt

This got fixed in latest beta releases (the Settings part, Tutorial - not sure)

Nothing extracted yet.
