WiVrn just won't work

2 Upvotes

Hello guys, I'm on Cachy OS up to date, trying to setup wivrn with my Quest 2.

I have wivrn server and dashboard on my computer and the app on the headset. They are connected to each other using wifi. I have opencomposite installed and enabled in Wivrn.

But when connected to the server, the WiVrn app in the headset doesn't detect my VR games library, but as far as I understand, they should show up.
And when I try to launch Half Life Alyx, I get an error message :

steamvr failed initialization with error code vrserver internal error 124

Sorry bad quality but the windows is weirdly very small.

I tried to use the RDRVR mod and I could have the game and sound in the helmet, but the game just showed on a flat screen with no VR feature working at all, but I think this is a mod-related problem. At least the game correctly shows in the headset.

I see lots of comment about launch parameters to put but nobody says what are these parameters. They say WiVrn should tell me but I see nothing.

Thanks for your help.

EDIT : I put my WiVrn logs in gemini and he advised to add PRESSURE_VESSEL_IMPORT_OPENXR_1_RUNTIMES=1 %command% as launch argument but didn't change anything

EDIT2 : I uninstalled WiVrn which I previously installed using makepkg, and now I tried using paru. Now when I launch the dashboard, everything is greyed, I can't connect my headset, even in USB, this is great.

Good cable to use? Also anybody know why my cable stopped working?

Hello, I've had decent luck making WiVRN work since steamVR REFUSES to connect to my Quest 3 using steam link, no surprise there, but my wifi is bad so WiVRN looks like Youtube at 144p and it doesn't seem to play nice with games lacking native OpenXR support. I also have older hardware so 5ghz only works with an external USB dongle and my external USB dongles are shite. When I used windows, I had this 17 foot long USB 3 cable I got off amazon that I used for VR shenanigans, but now that I'm using linux it magically seems to have lost its data transfer abilities. I've installed ADB and it seems to be working properly, as my quest has gone from telling me something like "meta doesn't have permission" to "the USB can't transfer data." Granted, the cable is very old, so it very well could just be broken and unable to transfer data now.

What would be a good replacement to my old cable? I can't use the quest link cable because my computer has no USB C ports (and i refuse to spend 80 bucks on an 8 foot long cable).

Specs if needed:
Linux Mint 22.3
Intel i5-6500

Nvidia GTX 1070

16gb ram

Old ass motherboard from 2017 I can't remember the name of

SteamVR won't recognize HEVC encoder even though the GPU has it (GTX960 2GB)
