Issue with Valve Index (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
submitted 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) by Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone to c/linux@lemmy.ml

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:

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.

[-] fhein@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

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 :(

[-] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 8 months ago

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?

[-] fhein@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

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

[-] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 8 months ago

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).

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
