Logs
Some issues with SteamVR are caused by missing libraries, or directories.
# 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.UI
Logs available from UI using
SteamVR > Create System Report: - Logs tab
Unable to contact Mongoose
- doesn't seem to be firewall
- doesn't seem to be dnsmasq
- validated steamvr
