Errors Logs
Most issues with SteamVR are caused by:
- missing libraries
- assumptions about case-insentive filesystems
You must check multiple places to catch errors:
- run steam in a console, filter output with grep to catch most errors
- check the various steam logs, they contain info that won't show up in your console
# 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'# HTTP request errors, other rg -i -e 'failed' -e 'error' -e 'symbol' ~/.local/share/Steam/logsConsole
- 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
