    r29 Stable

    DieMitchell released this 2026-10-16 23:01:08 +02:00 | 0 commits to main since this release

    Prebuilt x86_64 build of main at 41e1aabe0 for Arch Linux.

    curl -LO https://github.com/lbgos/rift-s-linux/releases/download/r29/rift-s-linux-bin-29-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
    sudo pacman -U rift-s-linux-bin-29-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
    

    If Steam is running during the install, restart it once before starting SteamVR.

    The r28 package installed its files owned by the build user instead of root. After upgrading from r28, reset the owner once:

    pacman -Qlq rift-s-linux-bin | sudo xargs -d '\n' chown -h root:root
    

    Changes since r28:

    • Package files are owned by root.
    • SteamVR loads the Rift S driver again. Recent SteamVR runs inside the Steam Linux Runtime, where it cannot see the driver; the package now sets SteamVR's launch option to vrmonitor.sh %command% so it runs on the host. Custom launch options are left alone. (#3)
    • First-time Room Setup gets a floor to adjust at the floor step instead of waiting for one. (#4)
    • Quick Calibrate with the headset off your head no longer puts the floor at head height; the previous floor and boundary are kept. (#5)
    • Camera timestamps recover from a bad first frame, and SteamVR asks for 80 Hz. (#2, thanks @ryaneford)

    rift-s-linux-r29-x86_64.tar.zst is the payload for the rift-s-linux-bin PKGBUILD in packaging/aur.
