Hi, I’m using Arch with gamescope-session-steam and I switch between this and Plasma, usually booting right to Gamescope session. It was all fine and games, but with recent Steam update it is no longer able to connect to any network with its built-in NetworkManager integration.
It shows all the wifi networks as well as my wired connection, but WiFi simply doesn’t connect (asks for password and fails immediately) not leaving any log anywhere as if nothing happened.
At first I thought that this might be problem with kwallet not being open, but there’s pam log that it opens kwallet fine + it worked before not requiring any extra configuration. The problem also reproduces in gamescope nested mode from within Plasma, though it fills the remembered password from kwallet, fails exactly the same way immediately (not waiting for anything) without producing any log in either NetworkManager service or output from gamescope/steam.
Looks like a Steam bug, or now Steam needs something that I don’t have installed, but I don’t know what that could be. Any ideas where to troubleshoot?
Sounds like you’re trying to use a Steam feature. Probably not the best venue unless someone at Valve works here.
