I was able to reproduce this with both my desktop (Debian Testing, as reported in initial issue description) with an Index as well as SteamOS 3.5.7 and an HTC Vive. In both cases, rolling back to 1.27.5 allowed room setup to complete, and moving forwards to 2.1.7 / 2.1.8 retained the room setup configured in 1.27.5.
I then also tried it in version 1.27.5 but unfortunately it didn't work. The Room Setup pops up for a second on VR startup with VR home disabled. After that it won't open by clicking the Start Room Setup button.

Hi @Nucleus1242
same here
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamVR-for-Linux/issues/646
I’m unable to run room setup on the default branch, temp_v1.27.5 branch, or beta branch.
When I select room setup from the SteamVR menu, a window frame renders for a moment before disappearing. Subsequent attempts to launch it fail until SteamVR is restarted. Manually running the steamvr_room_setup binary ends in a segmentation fault.
Yeah, I can't run room setup too, archlinux, mesa 24.2.4, Radeon RX 7900 XTX, AMD 7800X3D, with Valve Index with knuckles.
getting back to temp_v1.27.5, running the room setup, then getting back to the normal version of steamvr allowed me to recalibrate.
Nothing extracted yet.
Describe the bug
I need to run the room setup, but I can't perform it.
To Reproduce

When SteamVR Home enabled:
1.1 See Windows (Img3 Img4 Img5) pop up

Or

Additional context
SteamVR was already running before, because I had a Room configuration. But I deleted it (there were some other reasons).
Those empty windows were already popping up for some versions but it didn't keep me from using SteamVR before.
