I managed to update to the Nov 30th version & the issue resolved itself. I spent a good 10 hours debugging this. May I suggest adding more networking debugging output for Steam?
As for how I updated, first let me ask your policy on internal (LAN) proxying; hypothetically a system in my household. The way your legalese is worded implies consequences for using proxies unless permission is given. I absolutely didn't use proxychains-ng lib32, so maybe try that. If I were to be given permission; perhaps I could edit this to detail my solution better.
For clarity, everything now works as it should; it's completely fixed with no workarounds currently applied.
Also, when's SteamOS 3 for desktops officially landing? I'd love to try it out.
Your system information
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
I've been using Steam for years on this laptop. Yesterday, while using the Old Big Picture; I selected Steam News on Grip Combat Racing. The preview tile was blank, so I figured the network was lagging. When I pressed 'A' on it, Steam locked up. I killed the zombie process after waiting a few minutes. When I went to reopen Steam, it wouldn't connect to anything. I figured a corrupted file was to blame so I moved my games out and renamed ~/.local/share/Steam to force a clean environment. This networking error persists and is almost identical to issue #7667. The solutions in the other issue don't work and seem to have a different cause (DNS issues). I've enabled nscd, enabled systemd-resolved including the stub-resolv.conf symlink, installed the lib32-nss package, tried deleting the beta file, tried steam-native all to no avail.
I can download
http://media.steampowered.com/client/steam_client_publicbeta_ubuntu12
fine in Firefox, but the terminal output keeps saying it can't via Steam (i.e., see logs below). If more data would help, let me know.Essentially, Steam has broken its own networking and removing ~/.local/share/Steam won't fix it. All other networking works fine.
Konsole output:
connection_log.txt output:
dig media.steampowered.com
host media.steampowered.com
