Thanks for the report and the check output.
Error 301 means SteamVR's starter couldn't connect to SteamVR's server: the server crashed or got stuck while starting. Your
vrserver.txtexcerpt stops right after RiftLinux's start-up lines, before the line where the headset and sensors are opened ("Devices up"), so I need the full logs to see where it stopped.Could you please:
ps -eo pid,comm,args | grep -i -E "vrserver|vrcompositor|vrmonitor|vrstartup" | grep -v grepYour check said the headset was still in use by SteamVR when you ran it, so a stuck server may be blocking every new start. If any are listed,
kill -9 <pid>them.riftlinux-setup repairandriftlinux-setup fix.repairundoes what a SteamVR crash leaves behind, such as the driver blocked by SteamVR's safe mode (your log shows SteamVR going into safe mode).fixputs the configuration RiftLinux is tested with in place. It lists every change, asks once, and keeps a backup of every file it changes.Then start Steam and SteamVR again.

Sorry for the late reply after running all the command you told me to run there was nothing running and even after closing steam completly and running riftlinux-setup repair and fix it still provided the same error code 301 after constantly blocking the driver

Based of the attached logs the crash is likely occurring in RiftLinux's compositor start on your machine. To find the exact place I need a bit more information and crash dumps, and one test:
Needed Info:
/tmp/dumpsand attach the zip here:cd /tmp/dumps && zip ~/riftlinux-dumps.zip crash_*.dmpvulkaninfo --summaryandls /sys/class/drmTest with disabling Proton-GE and RiftLinux's Direct-Mode Compositor:
Step 1: Completely close Steam and SteamVR.
Step 2: Temporarily remove or move any installed GE-Proton/Proton-GE versions from ~/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d/ and switch to the default Proton-CachyOS. (There is currently a known issue with GE-Proton affecting OpenXR initialization, which may occur even when GE-Proton is installed but not actively selected as the compatibility tool for apps)
Step 3: Run the following commands:
riftlinux-setup repairriftlinux-setup direct-mode offStep 4: Start Steam, then launch SteamVR, without launching a game.
With RiftLinux's direct-mode compositor disabled, SteamVR should use its own compositor to drive the headset instead of launching RiftLinux's compositor. If successful, you should still get an image in the headset, although RiftLinux's Auto-HDR and motion smoothing features will be unavailable.
Once you've completed the test, please confirm whether SteamVR launches successfully without crashing and whether you get an image in the headset.
This test should help further narrow down the issue. Once I have the crash dumps, vulkan graphics configuration, and test results, I'll investigate further and work towards identifying and fixing the underlying problem.
MRcatHELLO commentedon Nov 2, 2026
turning off direct mode caused it to launch
AIIX commentedon Nov 2, 2026
Thanks for confirming that it's working with direct mode disabled. This gives me a few more clues about where the issue might be occurring.
The crash dumps from /tmp/dumps would still be helpful if they're available.
Based on the logs you've already attached, I have a fair idea of where the problem might be and a potential fix to investigate. I'm aiming to include this in the upcoming 0.1.4 pre-release.
AIIX commentedon Nov 2, 2026
The 0.1.4 pre-release with a potential fix is out: https://github.com/AIIX/RiftLinux/releases/tag/v0.1.4
Install it, then run:
riftlinux-setup direct-mode onriftlinux-setup repairthen startSteam, followed bySteamVR.If it still fails, please attach vrserver.txt and vrstartup-linux.txt from that try, and any new files in /tmp/dumps.
