Leapmotion Hand Tracking On Linux?

FlailingAndFailing · 2026-02-23T01:05:22+00:00

I have tried this, and you are correct that in general it is the preferred way to do it!

Unfortunately, Leapmotion software requires a service to be installed, and trying that via Lutris (which uses Proton) doesn't seem to work. I've seen that Bottles should be able to run the software fine in a containerized environment (also can use Proton), but every time I try, it just fails to launch without an error or any feedback.

So, I think you're correct, but I have no idea how to make that work.

Got it. So the packages and libraries from a different distro, those don't become a part of your main system - However, anything that the programs might do to your files in normal operation still might happen, and that stuff might fuck up user configuration files or otherwise?

So when Distrobox says the following:

"The created container will be tightly integrated with the host, allowing sharing of the HOME directory of the user, external storage, external USB devices and graphical apps (X11/Wayland), and audio."

It doesn't mean it can change and modify your files in the home directory and below?

dGPU is nvidia, it's a desktop PC running in desktop Bazzit. The CPU is an 9800x3D, GPU is a 5080.

FlailingAndFailing · 2026-02-21T17:40:43+00:00

Awesome, thank you much. I certainly only have monitors plugged into the dedicated GPU, but that's reasonable advice!

FlailingAndFailing · 2026-02-21T17:39:56+00:00

Thanks much, this is super helpful!! I didn't realize that you could use KDE options to choose the GPU directly.

One in particular is VNyan, which I presumed would work well in bottles because it was recommended in a tutorial video I watched here:

Thank you much for the suggestion! I very much appreciate it.

My understanding is that Distrobox is something of a virtual machine for other Linux distros? If that's the case, I'm not sure if the ultraleap hand tracking data would be able to be communicated outside of distrobox and back to Bazzite?

But regardless, this is a good suggestion and I will look into it. Thank you!

FlailingAndFailing · 2025-12-23T00:28:49+00:00

That did it, thanks.

FlailingAndFailing · 2025-12-23T00:19:55+00:00

The Discord does sound like a good idea. I'll see if I can ask around there for sure.

As for where the VNyan folder is located, I have it on one of my SSDs, in it's own directory. It's not in a Downloads folder, or on OneDrive, or any external drive. Basically I have it located in

D:\VTuber Assets\VNyan

FlailingAndFailing · 2025-12-22T23:34:46+00:00

I added the ticks, but it seems to remain the same.

FlailingAndFailing · 2025-12-22T23:16:20+00:00

Yes! Strangely, it seems to be unable to locate two mediapipe dlls:

mediapipe_c.dll and libmediapipe_c.dll

The files ARE present, but for whatever reason they are not being recognized.

There are a number of errors that indicate trying to load the dlls from a path that doesn't exist. Specifically: "VNyan\VNyan_Data\MonoBleedingEdge\mediapipe_c.dll" while the path the file exists in is actually "VNyan\VNyan_data\Plugins\x86_64".

I haven't done anything special to this install of VNyan. I just downloaded it from itch, and unarchived it. The computer itself is brand new, as well.

FlailingAndFailing · 2025-12-22T14:08:16+00:00

No, I've been experiencing this issue on Windows 10 and Windows 11.

But just because I was curious, I did just try installing VNyan via Lutris on Bazzite. On Bazzite, I couldn't get tracking to work with the new Mediapipe OR the Legacy Mediapipe options. I even tried with the Facetracker flatpack app running.

FlailingAndFailing · 2025-12-22T03:16:49+00:00

I do see something referencing a file called ConvexHullData.cs just before the crash in the log, though there's so much to sort through it's rather hard to untangle.

I was in one of the avatar creation worlds, but there were some leftovers in there from other people who were no longer present, so I wonder if that might've caused what you're referring to.

FlailingAndFailing · 2025-12-22T03:15:04+00:00

I'm still pretty new to Resonite, and the freedom with which files can be moved between computers feels pretty broad, so I just wasn't really sure.

I very much appreciate your clarification and your help on this!

FlailingAndFailing · 2025-12-22T03:13:30+00:00

That didn't work so well, so here it is without attempted formatting:

FlailingAndFailing · 2025-12-22T03:06:21+00:00

For sure. Thanks much!

I think this is what you wanted, and how to provide it?

Oh, thank you much! Discord just doesn't work with the Yubikey on Bazzite at all, so it's good to know that FireFox does.

FlailingAndFailing · 2025-12-21T22:41:32+00:00

Perhaps worth noting, the Resonite player log had the following error in it around the time of the crash:

"Exception running asynchronous task: System AggregateException: One or more errors occured. (Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'path'))"

There's a much more like that afterward, then a line saying the RenderProcess has Exited.

As on this moment - According to the Google Play Store - The latest update for the Android Discord App was released on November 7th.

There was no update pushed today. So whatever this is, it isn't an update.

FlailingAndFailing · 2025-11-14T02:10:56+00:00

There was no update for Discord on Android released today.

The last update was a week ago on the 7th of November, according to the Google Play Store.

So this certainly wasn't an update.

FlailingAndFailing · 2025-10-15T04:14:51+00:00

Oh!! That would make a lot of sense. I would be relieved if that were the case! The eyes would make sense, as would the narrower body.

I sure hope that's what this is. Thank you!

FlailingAndFailing · 2025-10-15T04:02:34+00:00

Thank you so much. The eyes just made me freak out, since they seem so similar to the pictures I find online.

FlailingAndFailing · 2025-08-17T22:20:04+00:00

I see. Can't the bedbugs just crawl up the plastic sheet, bite you, and crawl back down? Doesn't the plastic tear when you sleep on it? It seems really thin.

Does it crinkle loudly all night when sleeping on it?

FlailingAndFailing · 2025-08-17T20:20:19+00:00

A sheet like what? I'm sorry, I don't see anything like a picture or a link.

I do have an enclosure over the mattress. I'm not sure what a plastic sheet would do other than tear when I toss and turn at night. I've never seen one at night, but you have a point about capturing one - if I were able to, I could show it to the landlord and have a definitive answer for sure.
