2 years ago Just started experiencing this same issue today. I'm also running Arch with Xorg, however I'm not using a DE or greeter so I simply get thrown back to the TTY login whenever I try to launch SteamVR. I'm really out of ideas as to what could be causing it as I started experiencing this issue randomly, not after updating anything. After looking through my logs it does seem to be the same issue - vrmonitor appears to crash first, also complaining about a "missing" qt library that I do have installed.

For a couple weeks now, I have been experiencing an issue with SteamVR. Whenever I launch SteamVR, my entire screen goes black, I get a no signal error on my monitor for a few seconds, then my screens goes back to black with a blinking cursor until I finally get booted back into my display manager's login screen as if it reset.
This happens with every version of SteamVR I try This happens with the latest new feature branch of the NVIDIA driver & the latest stable branch I am using ALVR, this issue is consistent across every version of ALVR I've tried and from what I can find from other users, is most likely not an ALVR issue.
I've gone as far to re-install Arch Linux as a troubleshooting measure This issue is still persistent
After a crash, i took a look at journalctl and found some errors: vrmonitor is the first application to crash It gives this error:
SteamVR/bin/linux64/vrmonitor: error while loading shared libraries: libQt5Multimedia.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directoryThis is strange as that file seems to exist here:~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/bin/linux64/qt/lib/libQt5Multimedia.so.5The next application to fully crash is VR Web Helper Its stack trace is here:
At one point, I noticed an error along the lines of libcef.so error 4 I can't find it anymore
Steamtours dumps it core as the next entry in journalctl after vrwebhelper
This error comes right after:
....../game/steamtours.sh: line 94: 5301 Segmentation fault (core dumped) ${STEAM_RUNTIME_PREFIX} ${GAME_DEBUGGER} "${GAMEROOT}"/${GAMEEXE} "$@"The next errors are copied directly from journalctl, in order: I no longer have access to these dumps, sorry
After this, the main thread proceeds to crash
VRcompositor crashes finally
This was all I was able to dig up
How to reproduce: Install Arch Linux with a NVIDIA 1660 Ti Install ALVR Install Steam and SteamVR Start ALVR (which will cause SteamVR to launch) Watch as ALVR proceeds to start fine but
for a mystery box to appear andfor every thing to go black and crashExpected behavior Normally, the ALVR window opens fine
with no artifacts on the desktopSystem Information:
Something to note: I am under Xorg however, as a troubleshooting measure, I tried it under GNOME Wayland Although this didn't cause it to work, it did stop the entire desktop environment from crashing
Vulkaninfo and vkcube are fully functional A vulkan info output is attached below
I am using steam native But this issue still happens on Steam Runtime maxconcern.txt
Edit: The artifacts on the desktops were unrelated
