Steam not working / Uploads not working
Re: Steam not working / Uploads not working
Let's check a setting that has caused users some problems in the past.
Right Click on the network manager icon in the panel.
Select Edit Connections...
Select Wired connection 1 and press Edit
Select the General tab.
Two checkboxes should be checked
Automatically connect to this network when it is available
and
All users may connect to this network
The latter box being unchecked has been a problem before.
If it is checked, run an online speedtest like Ookla's to see if it's actually a problem with network speed or something specific to Steam.
Right Click on the network manager icon in the panel.
Select Edit Connections...
Select Wired connection 1 and press Edit
Select the General tab.

I had a look and they are, indeed, both ticked.

I guess this has everyone stumped.

Re: Steam not working / Uploads not working
Have you run an online speedtest (like speedsmart.net or speedtest.net) to see if it's a general problem rather than something Steam related?

Re: Steam not working / Uploads not working
No, sir!
I did not.
I completely missed that.
And so I went ahead and did it...and this is what I got:
"Upload Test Error
A socket error occurred during the upload test. A firewall could be blocking the connection or the server might be having some issues.
Please try again later."
AHA! So it seems to be a socket issue!
I don't have the firewall enabled at all -at the moment.
So I guess the next bunch of questions are:
Which socket is it;
Why is it blocking steam / speedtest.net from uploading and;
How did it get to be blocked?
Interesting....

Re: Steam not working / Uploads not working
might be time to check the /etc/hosts file and see if you've got any blocking entries.
or maybe do you have a vpn?

Re: Steam not working / Uploads not working
You said you had gufw installed. ufw might still have rules enabled.
Let's seeand for good measure
Let's see
Code: Select all
sudo ufw status verbose
Code: Select all
sudo iptables -L

(Does using the VPN function on Opera count? Keeping in mind that I use Chromium for general browsing.)
I opened the hosts file and it had, a staggering, 1138 pages.
Is that normal?

Ok, I did those and:timkb4cq wrote: ↑Wed Feb 20, 2019 4:34 pm You said you had gufw installed. ufw might still have rules enabled.

sudo ufw status verbose

The first command resulted in: "Status Inactive"
The second command resulted in:
A whole bunch of stuff with Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) "all -- anywhere anywhere"
Ending with:
"Chain ufw-track output (1 reference)
