Stormux CommunitiesIssue with Valve Index
submitted by
I got myself a valve index, as I've heard that it works well on GNU/Linux (I use Debain 12 with GNOME). Turns out, there were a bunch of hurtles. At first, my cable was just broken, so I needed to get that relaced. Later on when I got the cable, Everything worked fine, but nothinig is being displayed in the headset. The screen is just off and the frightening red lights on the front are lit. Every time I run steamVR, it doesn't give me any errors, but after about 20 seconds of waiting, these two LEDs turn from blue to red. The eye adjustment slider and even the tracking works perfeclty, as I can see the rendered image in the "VR view":
I also get this warning in the console before the lights turn red:
(vrwebhelper:3686): dbind-WARNING **: 15:09:07.618: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: Failed to connect to socket /run/user/1000/at-spi/bus_1: No such file or directory
The lights turn blue again when restarting SteamVR. Has anyone experienced anything like this before?
I also get this error sometimes, even though the display is very much plugged in:
In case it matters, here is the entire console output up from running steamVR:

EDIT: Here is some other important info on my system: - Running the X version of GNOME - GTX 1060 6GB
The vrcompositor failed to initialise. Check the vrcompositor log in the Steam log files directory.
Where can I find that vrcompositor log?
Your Steam directory has a log (or logs?) sub-directory and that contains a vrcompositor.txt
Thank you for telling me. When the "display not found" error does not occur, it actaully lists the valve index display as an option as shown here:

Sat Mar 02 2024 23:45:50.643309 [Error] - Unflushed events requested in CGpuTiming::GetDeltas!So it really does detect the display, it just seems to have some undefined software issue... This would be the full files contents, in case there is some stuff which is vitally important. The SteamVR window itself does not even mention anything being wrong. It just sits there, happily rendering that image meant for the hmd. Do you see something in these logs? I am unfortunatly still at a loss...
The warnings you see are caused by https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamVR-for-Linux/issues/616. Maybe disabling async reprojection will help you too
Try using distrobox arch. I did that on nixos and after some troubleshooting I got it to work.
Listen, ill be real with you, its basically unusable and unreliable in most scenarios. The technical reason for this is due to Wayland vs X11 and other underdeveloped display technology. Normal gaming just got good enough after years of work. And before anyone tells me that the Index does work on Linux, it sure does just not well at all.
I have since sold my Index but when I used it, 80% of it was on windows. Be on the lookout for something called the Valve Deckard. I believe thats when Linux VR will finally be ready.
... I'll also be real with you and tell you something terrible. I installed Windows just to test if it works there and it did not. The same red lights, the same error. This seems like either my graphics card has some problems with it, or the headset is simply faulty. Unfortunatly I did not purchase this one new, but used, so no warrenty. It was for "only" 400€, and it came with perfectly functioning base stations and controllers. It's "just" the headset display which does not work. You think it would make more sense to purchase a new headset specifically or to sell all the base stations and controllers to purchase a simple htc vive 1 ?
When you say you got a new cable, you mean an original tether cable, which is connected directly to the graphics card without adapters or extension cables?
Also, are you using Nvidia's closed source drivers or Nouveau?
Yes exactly that. I got a new cable, the one which goes from headset into the graphics card. I am using the latest Nvidia-driver package from apt, so yes the proprietary one. No extension cables anywhere.
Any possibility to verify that the headset's power adapter is working? E.g. multimeter
I saw someone suggesting a headset firmware reset for this issue, but others are saying they had to RMA their headset when they got solid red lights on it :(
Unfortunately I don't have a multimeter. As I said, the tracking works perfectly and even the IPD adjustment works. It's just the display which does not seem to work The headset also gets warm while in "use" even though it doesn't display stuff. How would I got about resetting the firmware?
I only have a Vive, but according to reddit this how you do it :) https://www.reddit.com/r/ValveIndex/comments/c8wvft/how_to_reset_hmd_back_to_factory_firmware/
And just brainstorming here, I think I've had problems in the past where I had multiple high resolution + high framerate monitors, though it might've been on my work computer where I had a docking station.. What other monitors are you using? Have you tried lower framerates? My last graphics card was a GTX1080 which is similar to yours, but I don't remember if that one had any peculiarities with VR. Back then I dual booted Windows for VR since it didn't work well enough on Linux
Hmm, very interesting. I held down the button when plugging it in, and it resulted in the infamous blinking red lights. Then steamVR indeed told me to enter my password for some sort of setup. I did that, but I stead on installing some firmware or something, it just started StaemVR like usual, but this time not the headset, nor the base stations show up. It has a small error window over it, which says that it could not detect any headset. This is easily resolved by just replugging the index power cable, but that just gets me back to where I started (all devices show up as they should and SteamVR just pretends that everything is working perfectly, while nothing is being displayed in the headset).
What graphics card are you using? What driver is installed for it?
How do you have the USB's plugged in for the headset and lighthouses?
The lighthouses I only have plugged in to the wall. They magically connected to steam VR, and both appear as green. As said before, the tracking works perfectly, even for the knuckles controllers. I have a GTX 1060 with 6GB of VRAM. I'm using the latest version of the Nvidia-driver package (It's something like 525 or somethin). I don't think I need to plug the lighthouses right into the PC...
I have an original Vive and the only time I had to plug the lighthouses into the PC was to update the firmware through Steam.
Rest of the time I also only had them plugged into power.
It should show up in the output of
xrandr. At least my Vive does. Could you share that?I believe in the past I was able to turn the display on with
xrandrand extend the desktop to it. That would at least prove that the hardware works.The output of the xrandr command is this:
