Launching applications

Hey, I got stardust server running from the release page (stardust-xr-server-0.43.0-x86_64.AppImage). Flatland is up, everything is black but my hands. I saw in a help thread you suggested protostar hexagonlauncher (here)[https://discord.com/channels/647222689777582080/1193008243333672960/1194291874240929833]. I built that but am unsure how to run the hexagonlauncher, I only no a little bit of rust and cargo. I think there was a way to launch a sub package. like this protostar ±|main|→ cargo run -p hexagon_launcher but it looks like everything is still black with just the hand arrows.

For context I have a Quest2 with ALVR. I'm also able to bring up SimulaVR.

Yeah, works well too. I remember I tried about 1.5 years ago and it was awful.

Okay, the steps I have taken look correct though?

For ALVR, I just ran the appimage, nothing special. Then from SideQuest, I installed ALVR-light. And it all worked. ADB was already setup from previously. But shouldn't require any voodoo magic. Okay cool, let me give the dev branches a go.

last time i tried steamvr just kept on glitching also protostar isn't yet updated for the refactors so you'll have to wait to use that until i upgrade sorry

No sweat, I'm just trying to get some stuff going as it is. I barely know what I'm doing, hahaha. I built the dev branches, but still black with just the hand tracking cones.

hand tracking shouldn't do cones darn you steamvr try launching with --disable-controller
Highball

too flatland? cargo run --disable-controller ?
Nova
Nova8mo ago
no to the server sorry
Highball

okay cargo run -- --disable-controller worked. But, no black background anymore. The cones are gone, the hand tracking shows controllers now. but now there is a block box that says StardustXR and below that a dark gray box that says Next Up. I can't interact with tit though. Oh, maybe that had nothing to do with it. Seems like Flatland does nothing now, and dropping that parameter still gives me the same setup. Seems like having closed everything down and started everything back up (including ALVR and SteamVR). improved things.
