Description

When I try to Launch SteamVR from ALVR, it just gives me an error message.
/home/azureskyed/.config/openvr/openvrpaths.vrpath does not exist

I don't know how to fix this.

Another thing is that, when I launch SteamVR from steam itself, and it asks me to do some sort of setup, I click on OK, then it gives me an error.
Then SteamVR wont launch until I close out of steam.

General Troubleshooting

  • [y] I carefully followed the instructions in the README and successfully completed the setup wizard
  • [y] I read the ALVR GitHub Wiki

You might need to create ~/.config/openvr/openvrpaths.vrpath file.

I have no idea where mine came from, but in any case, here; make sure to replace username in paths with yours:

~/.config/openvr/openvrpaths.vrpath 
{
  "config": [
    "/home/constantine/.local/share/Steam/config"
  ],
  "external_drivers": [],
  "jsonid": "vrpathreg",
  "log": [
    "/home/constantine/.local/share/Steam/logs"
  ],
  "runtime": [
    "/home/constantine/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR"
  ],
  "version": 1
}

Btw, did you install openvr package? I also have opencomposite-git installed, which I guess wouldn't hurt.
