17 days agoFair. I was trying to install some latest versions if Dev packages because Debian seemed to lack behind (some gtk-4 package was out of date). I need it for building this FOSS VR software called “envision”.

You were entirely correct. Thank you very much for your response, I really was missing the header files for the kernel so the driver couldn’t interact with the system (as far as I can tell). The nouveau driver automatically kicked in on first reboot after installing the header files and I’m now downloading the dkms package again (using Gnome).
I have now fixed the apt issue. Biw I’m just stuck with the startx not working. I’ve already completely reinstalled my nvidia drivers but I still get the same errors in the Xorg logs. In case you are wondering, these are the logs

It was a link to a picture of the terminal… I don’t have a better way to do this. https://files.catbox.moe/9boyn2.jpg
- Yes startx was working before.
- I unfortunately don’t know. I always just use startx to get any kind if GUI running…
- It is not a space problem. I’ve got plenty of space and I have not seen any space problems before. Like 29GB left.
- I can boot from a previous kernel, but I get the same problem (that being a black screen with blinking cursor).
I have now taken a look at the Xorg log files and they seem to be complaining about it not finding the nvidia kernel module, even though I just installed the nvidia-driver package. This is the complete file content

OK so when installing the the unsigned kernel, I get an error that the normal version isn’t installed. But when I try to install the normal version, it complains that the unsigned version isn’t installed…
Fair. The first thing I did was yesterday where I tried to add testing, experimental and unstable packages to apt. That didn’t quite work sonI reverted my changes my removing the .list files and recovering the previous default sources.list file. Then today In started up my PC and this was what I got, a black screen with a blinking white cursor. The apt-fix-broken is just something I picked up on during my many times I had to fix my distro… So that was one of the first things i tried after trying the startxcommand.
You speak of apt fix, what is that?
When trying to install the one kernel I get exactly the same message as the first image in the post. The first error hints at an error in a posts installation script, which I have had issues with before. I used to delete these script to get over errors aaand that worked fine for some time. In case there has been some change in the error I’m getting, I haven’t picked up on it yet. Either way, here’s the output
EDIT: At the top of the message it says " Newest version already installed" so it seems to be blocking itself? Like I’m trying to install a package and it’s like -But I need that package to build this one-
2·2 months agoWoah, where’s your shift and space? Also, those left right arrow placements are real good. Do you use vim by chance?
What exactly do you mean by “press”? In which direction? I have plugged the cable into the headset until it kinda clicked, like a thump, so I thought that would be enough. So yeah, press in which direction? Also I have tried all the steamVR versions, so yeah that’s likely not the issue
I am using the apt version of steam, so that should be fine
You mean I should buy only the headset new, right? I think that makes loads of sense. Unfortunately right now the headset is not available.
… I’ll also be real with you and tell you something terrible. I installed Windows just to test if it works there and it did not. The same red lights, the same error. This seems like either my graphics card has some problems with it, or the headset is simply faulty. Unfortunatly I did not purchase this one new, but used, so no warrenty. It was for “only” 400€, and it came with perfectly functioning base stations and controllers. It’s “just” the headset display which does not work. You think it would make more sense to purchase a new headset specifically or to sell all the base stations and controllers to purchase a simple htc vive 1 ?
Hmm, very interesting. I held down the button when plugging it in, and it resulted in the infamous blinking red lights. Then steamVR indeed told me to enter my password for some sort of setup. I did that, but I stead on installing some firmware or something, it just started StaemVR like usual, but this time not the headset, nor the base stations show up. It has a small error window over it, which says that it could not detect any headset. This is easily resolved by just replugging the index power cable, but that just gets me back to where I started (all devices show up as they should and SteamVR just pretends that everything is working perfectly, while nothing is being displayed in the headset).
Thank you for telling me. When the “display not found” error does not occur, it actaully lists the valve index display as an option as shown here:

Sat Mar 02 2024 23:45:50.643309 [Error] - Unflushed events requested in CGpuTiming::GetDeltas!So it really does detect the display, it just seems to have some undefined software issue… This would be the full files contents, in case there is some stuff which is vitally important. The SteamVR window itself does not even mention anything being wrong. It just sits there, happily rendering that image meant for the hmd. Do you see something in these logs? I am unfortunatly still at a loss…
The output of the xrandr command is this:

Where can I find that vrcompositor log?
Unfortunately I don’t have a multimeter. As I said, the tracking works perfectly and even the IPD adjustment works. It’s just the display which does not seem to work The headset also gets warm while in “use” even though it doesn’t display stuff. How would I got about resetting the firmware?
Wait really? We have an official open kernel module for the nvidia cards now? I’m assuming that the actual driver is still closed, right?
