Possible dupe of #24, though I don't see any relevant mention of lighthouse in vrserver.txt. Not sure what I could try besides update mesa.

After backporting kernel 6.4.0-0.deb12.2-amd64, I was able to proceed with Room Setup in spite of the segfaults below:

I then succeeded in getting to SteamVR Home, but Steam crashed along with the following segfault when I tried to launch VRChat:

I was delighted to see however that the "Desktops" tab in the dashboard now appears to work reliably. Just waiting for an on-screen keyboard now ;)

[2l47]

A second attempt and VRChat launches successfully :)

Hello @2l47, Regarding your kernel, I think you might find https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamVR-for-Linux/issues/598 informative. SteamVR requiring to be quit and then started again is a known issue - just open steamvr, let it see hmd, it will crash, quit, restart the SteamVR - after restart you should expect it to be fine, keep in mind that the crash might make headset be red, so restart headset (I do a powercycle on hmd) before restarting SteamVR. For me there is like 1 in 20 chance that VRChat will start, but it will not attach itself to HMD.
