Dashboard not working properly #119

Closed Zamundaaa closed 6 years ago

Zamundaaa commented 6 years ago

Your system information

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

The dashboard doesn't show most of the time in the latest SteamVR beta 1533664367. The grey bar at the bottom is visible, but none of the menu buttons are. Also the Steam Big Picture and desktop view never worked. Similar to issue #75 but input to the desktop view doesn't work either, mouse is stuck at the upper left corner of the screen. Sometimes I can open the settings by pressing that unseen button, and then sometimes it shows up, but most of the time it doesn't. The power down menu does work, if I press the (now invisible) button it appears. But I can't actually use it, as using the button exit VR doesn't do anything

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Start SteamVR
  2. Open Dashboard
lubosz commented 6 years ago

I can reproduce the issue with current SteamVR beta and stable (which are apparently the same). The dashboard fails to draw it's UI, but it is visible for one frame upon the first opening. Other overlays (Library/Desktop/Custom) also have the flickering issue, but I was able to see the desktop overlay correctly after multiple tries. The dashboard is still sensitive to input.

System:

Steam Beta Client
Arch Linux
Linux 4.18
Mesa master fcf259ef97fef9d52e7f82ef90fb2383438743b3
Also AMD RX 580

SteamVR Stable / Beta version

Built Aug 7, 2018 at 19:52
Version 1533664367

The issue is not reproducible with the older 1527117754 build available.

Seems to be fixed in 1533861641

Zamundaaa commented 6 years ago

Yes it does show up again. So the regression is fixed. But I still can't see Steam or my Desktop and "Exit VR" doesn't work either

@Zamundaaa those overlays come from the steam client, make sure your steam client has a 32bit vulkan driver available.

For me the "Exit VR" button never did anything. The Desktop Tab has been working on and off for me but with the current Beta I can see Desktop and Steam Library working.

Zamundaaa commented 6 years ago

@lostgoat ah thank you very much. I had only 64 bit vulkan installed, this fixed it. Desktop view shows only single single screens, uses the display as input for all 3 of them, and I can view the extended display (not really a big issue, looks funny) but works fine. Steam works fine now, too. "Exit VR" doesn't work still

Hello @Zamundaaa, please open a separate issue report for vrdashboard calling xdg-open, which in turn calls kde-open and kde-open falls over from some environment variables set for SteamVR's use.
