[Bug]: (Linux) iPhone (VTube Studio) tracking seemingly connects, but fails to track. iFacialMocap advanced options doesn't recognize IP address change. about vpuppr HOT 12 OPEN

The Flatpak logs and such should be in ~/.var/app/pro.vpup.vpuppr. see if anything is there, it'll be easier to navigate compared to the normal directories.

Oh yeah, I totally forgot about flatpaks using a separate directory than the ones I'm used to, thanks! Though, the logs look to be the exact same as the terminal output when i run it from there.

I did some more testing. My laptop had EndeavourOS installed on it, same as my desktop. i tried vpuppr + iFacialMocap and just as my desktop, it didn't work. Neiro was helping me on discord and I noticed in a screenshot they sent they are running PopOS. So out of desperation, I wiped my laptop and installed Pop. And with a little bit of fiddling, I got vpuppr + iFacialMocap to work!

But I much prefer pacman (+ the AUR) compared to apt so I'm currently making a Manjaro ISO to test if vpupper + iFacialMocap works on the laptop with Manjaro if it does, I may just wipe Endeavour and reinstall Manjaro. The last time I tried doing VTubing stuff was a year or so ago when I was running Manjaro and I never encountered this issue.

Don't use Manjaro, it'll only make things harder to debug. There's a reason it's not suggested. Distrobox would be better. Did you try and apply that bit of fiddling to EndeavourOS?

from vpuppr.

The fiddling I mentioned is basically reloading the model with * in the address box until the app accepts * as the address as reported in the terminal. I did get it to finally accept * as an IP, but I get
[INFO] iFacialMocap 2023-4-2_3:50:13 Listening for data at *:49983 ERROR: getaddrinfo failed! Cannot resolve hostname. at: _resolve_hostname (drivers/unix/ip_unix.cpp:98) now.

The Manjaro install with vpupper + iFacialMocap on my laptop worked first try, no issues whatsoever xD.

why would that be the case?

from vpuppr.

Manjaro claims to support many things from Arch, but in reality, causes more breakages rather than stability. Their developers also rush things out the door, as has been shown with their Asahi Linux patches. Their management is iffy, and they've worked together with companies like Pine64 to only support Manjaro on their devices and effectively obfuscate community editions.

from vpuppr.

Regarding stability, I ran Manjaro from like early 2019 to late 2022 and never had any issues with it. I only reinstalled Endeavour because I felt like changing it up. Since I know Manjaro works I went with that. But if you have a similar arch based distro (preferably with KDE) that you recommend I'd be happy to test if it resolved this problem as easily as it was on Manjaro.

phone edit: come to think of it, this is the second memorable network issue i've has with endeavour in the time i've used it. the first was trying to get a beat saber mod manager to work, but it couldn't connect to the server to refresh the mod list. but it worked on manjaro back when i used it.

from vpuppr.

Everything else says Manjaro isn't stable, and just their practices will end up breaking things. That's a guarantee. But that's also not the point of this issue. We need to figure out why tracking woks on one disto but not another. Firewall, maybe?

from vpuppr.

it's never broken in my experience but okay lol.

and nope, i haven't touched the firewall settings. the pc is on my home network so i didn't feel the need to mess with anything.

from vpuppr.

I've used manjaro for the last two years and I've never had any of those problems the only times I've had things break is when I messed with stuff I didn't know about

from vpuppr.

Exact same issue on NIXos

from vpuppr.

I was able to resolve the issue connecting VTubeStudioTracker by adding 21412 for TCP & UDP on my firewall, I'm on Manjaro and using Firewalld.
