Firewalld issue with SteamOS during installation/configuration

[KonKube]

Description

During the installation process, i received with the normal deck and root user the same issues. It just said, that the firewalld configuration step failed. No connection from Meta Quest 3 with installed ALVR were possible.

Output from the firewalld:

Dec 16 15:11:00 steamdeck firewalld[680]: ERROR: INVALID_SERVICE: alvr Dec 16 15:11:00 steamdeck firewalld[680]: ERROR: INVALID_SERVICE: Zone 'public': 'alvr' not among existing services

General Troubleshooting

• [x] I carefully followed the instructions in the README
• [0] successfully completed the setup wizard
• [x] I read the ALVR Wikis here and here

Environment

Local SteamOS

Hardware

Steam Deck OLED

Installation

ALVR Version: v20.5.0

ALVR Settings File:

SteamVR Version: 2.0

Install Type:

• [x] Packaged (exe, deb, rpm, etc)
• [0] Portable (zip)
• [0] Source

To fix the issue, i cloned the repository and changed to the tag v20.5.0. I found the causing lines here. https://github.com/alvr-org/ALVR/blob/master/alvr/xtask/firewall/alvr_fw_config.sh 15 firewall-cmd --zone="${zone}" --add-service='alvr' 20 firewall-cmd --zone="${zone}" --add-service='alvr' --permanent

I used "firewall-cmd --zone="public" --permanent --new-service-from-file=alvr-firewalld.xml" within the ALVR/blob/master/alvr/xtask/firewall/ directory and it succeeded.

From this point on i could connect with the meta quest 3 without any issues.

Thanks for the change if you would like to submit a pr for it also I have good news that whenever firewalld makes a new release ALVR will be automatically in its list of services that you can allow
