Logs

Some issues with SteamVR are caused by missing libraries, or directories.

Some examples 

./vrwebhelper: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6: undefined symbol: hb_ot_tags_from_script_and_language

./vrwebhelper: error while loading shared libraries: libcef.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Failed to change directory in process '/home/will/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/tools/steamvr_environments/game/bin/steamtours': 2

Failed to execute process '/home/will/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/tools/steamvr_environments/game/bin/steamtours': 2

Try redirecting logs, and tailing with a line-numbered filter. 

# starting in console and watching logs is most dependable source of errors
# logs exist in ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/Steam/logs but NOT EVERY ERROR is logged
steam | grep -i -e 'vrwebhelper' -e 'failed' -e 'error' -e 'symbol'

Console

- launch steam from console and it will log there
- modify SteamVR's launch command to open and execute from a terminal.
