No alvr_server add-on in SteamVR

[TheKoTech]

Description

When launching SteamVR in any way, in the add-ons menu there 's only "Gamepad Support", but no "alvr_server". Tried installing it via AUR and standalone, nothing changes

General Troubleshooting

• I carefully followed the instructions in the README and successfully completed the setup wizard
• I read the ALVR GitHub Wiki

Are you actually launching SteamVR through the alvr dashboard? Also you need to currently always apply the first entry on the linux troubleshooting wiki page. You'll likely also need the wayland fix
