Hiya! Any linux experts out there that could help me? (pawb.social)

Hello! I'm a small time vtuber who moved to MX Linux a while back. I use a 3d model, and while I was able to get my model working, with the help of my husband (even better than windows actually,) we cannot get my hand tracking to work.

I've used the ultra leap on Windows with no issues. On the same PC, I tried to get it working on Linux. I use MX Linux (xfce), and the system is up to date. I know that the "Gemini" software only officially supports Ubuntu 22.04, but Ubuntu is Debian based and so is MX. So, I gave it a try. The program installed fine, and it seems to work normally. The device seems to be connected, and I can view its output through the web cam viewer.

However, the ultra leap Gemini program can't find the device. I'm far from a Linux expert, but I tried all the program's terminal commands that I could. I think what I need is to point the program to the device ID or something, maybe. Does anybody have any experience with something like this?

We also tried the older version of the program and that didn't work either. But I remember less about that. It was all terminal based I think.

I use OpenSeeFace and VSeeFace as my tracking software.

Any tips or trick I could try?

I'm not an expert nor experienced with this software so I can't help with the technical parts but have you tried posting on Linux specific communities? Some potential candidates would be:

I'm sure they have plenty of wizards there.

Huh, that might indeed be a better place to post. Thanks!

No problem, I hope you'll manage to get it working.

I’m not familiar with the software, but from looking at their documentation you may need to start / enable the service? A (seemingly)related GitHub has directions on that and other set up pieces.
