Thought I’d add onto this as it’s prob what most people will find.
Post 1 of detailed guide to Get VR working with Video Players on Linux.
(New posters can only post 5 links and I registered simply to post this.)
Install KDE Plasma Desktop (Linux Mint)
Note: this doesn’t seem to matter. Many guide say you MUST use KDE but I’ve gotten this working with Linux Mint Cinnamon default GNOME.
I don’t Gnome give it a try without then in doubt install? ٩(^‿^)۶
To install KDE Plasma on Linux Mint, run the following command:
sudo apt install kde-plasma-desktop
After installation, log out, and choose KDE from the session options at the login screen.
Ensure Correct Drivers
YOU MUST USE PROPRIETARY DRIVERS. don’t bother trying use the Open source ones - it will not work. Trust me I tried. That said please feel free to prove me wrong, I wish they did work!
Go to Menu > Control Center > Administration > Driver Manager.
Select the correct driver for your system.
Headset Setup in Developer Mode
Your VR headset must be in Developer Mode for some configurations. Follow this YouTube guide.
Installing ALVR (for Streaming VR to the Headset)
Follow this YouTube guide for installing ALVR.
If you can’t find ALVR in the apps, note that it’s hidden under “Unknown Sources” after the Quest software v54 update. To locate it:
Go to the “Search apps” bar.
Click on the search bar and pull down the “All” menu to find it.
Set Steam VR Beta:
Open Steam VR Properties > Betas and choose SteamVR Beta Update.
Let it update and restart Steam.
See Next Post- this tutorial was split as I’m unable to post more than 5 links.
This forum seems to think code is links. (ﾟヮﾟ)
