Nobody can help ? I am refreshing this page frequently

[Vixea]

first: github isn't really the right place to get help instead join our discord/matrix chat second: if I remember the previous discussion on it, we kinda need it, it seems like your distro isn't setting it automatically possibly because its immutable?

[fabtimus]

ah ok I would like to join the Discord then. I downloaded and install Fedora Workstation 38 normally. Nothing different than with another distro.

XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is set by your desktop environment and usually points to /run/user/1000. If you don't have that available, you'll most likely encounter issues with other applications, not just ALVR. Are you using a container of some sort?

[parkerlreed]

I have this error in console when I run it with sudo

DO NOT RUN ALVR WITH SUDO

That is why you are having those issues. Run at as your user.

[Vixea]

@parkerlreed thanks missed that completely yea there are many other reasons NOT to run gui apps with sudo, but the error is because of that yea.

[fabtimus]

Thanks for your replies guys but unfortunately it doesn´t solve ALVR. I have a new error now:

All right I manage to solve the problem alone : I install a new distro: Nobara. It is based on Fedora with all the necessary for gaming.
