No network connection to steam

hello all,

since the update today I can no longer connect to steam.
I have already deleted the folders but it did not help.

Re: No network connection to steam

Hi @Head_on_a_Stick

lib32-libcurl-compat is installed.
systemd-resolved now active
the symlink is set.

cat /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf

# This file is managed by man:systemd-resolved(8). Do not edit.
#
# This is a dynamic resolv.conf file for connecting local clients directly to
# all known uplink DNS servers. This file lists all configured search domains.
#
# Third party programs should typically not access this file directly, but only
# through the symlink at /etc/resolv.conf. To manage man:resolv.conf(5) in a
# different way, replace this symlink by a static file or a different symlink.
#
# See man:systemd-resolved.service(8) for details about the supported modes of
# operation for /etc/resolv.conf.

nameserver 192.168.178.1

Unfortunately, the problem has remained the same.

Re: No network connection to steam

I found out something else.

getent hosts http://client-download.steampowered.com
does not give a result. On my other computer it outputs multiple IPs.

The ArchWiki seems to differ from systemd-resolved(8) in respect of the recommended symlink so perhaps follow the man page and use the stub resolver instead:

# ln -sf /run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf

Re: No network connection to steam

I have no more ideas, i hope you still have some.

I did a complete reinstall.
systemd-networkd.service activated.
systemd-resolved.service activated.

ln -sf /run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
/etc/systemd/network/20-wired.network
[Match]
Name=enp8s0
[Network]
DHCP=yes
/etc/systemd/network/25-wired.network
[Match]
Name=wlan0
[Network]
DHCP=yes

the configuration for wlan0 was done with iwctl.
after the internet connection worked.
i installed plasma group, kde-application group and sddm with dependencies.
After that i installed steam and steam-native-runtime with dependencies.

Re: No network connection to steam

What motherboard are you using and what network card?
I'm thinking if my Killer AX1650 or Killer E3100G is the problem.

Re: No network connection to steam

You'll need lib32-systemd for systemd-networkd to properly inform 32bit applications checking for this.

Re: No network connection to steam

Hi @V1del

lib32-systemd was already installed.
In the meantime I also tried networkmanager (with systemd-network deactivated), unfortunately did not help.

Hotspot via mobile network did not help either.
The laptop on the same network works fine.

Gigabyte Z370M DS3H, with a Realtek RTL8111. If you want a workaround for now, Flatpak works decently. I'm also using NetworkManager and always have been

Re: No network connection to steam

Hey, can you try enabling the ncsd service? I think that fixed it for me. I messed around with some things cause I figured it was a DNS related issue, and that seems to have fixed it.

Super!

Now I wonder why the dns cache service is needed at once.
