    Using the Index, SteamVR keeps throwing a display not found error for the headset. Tracking seems to be registering but the screens remain black. I saw some people say that replacing the trident cable fixed this issue for them, but I am doubtful since it just works in Windows. I tried the stable, legacy, and beta versions of SteamVR, all to the same effect. Also tried changing the amount of displays connected and what port the headset uses. I imagine it’s some sort of display driver issue (Nobara linux, wayland on nvidia) but I have not been able to figure it out.














  • Update in case anyone is interested: I figured out what caused the problem. When I mounted the new drive I used to store my configurations onto Proxmox, I completely forgot to make the relevant /etc/fstab entry. The drive mounted successfully so I didn’t realize at the time that I had forgotten to do that step. The update I ran from apt-get included a kernel update, so I restarted the machine to complete it. Since I hadn’t modified fstab, my new drive was not mounted when the system started up again. Even though the drive wasn’t mounted correctly, I still somehow had access to some incomplete version of the files in its directory (no idea how that works). So no fault of Docker, LXCs or Proxmox, purely PEBKAC.

    Despite getting the files back I will still work towards a more resilient system and more regular backups.
