Hi, new to the forums so hopefully this is the right place for this.
I have recently installed Ubuntu 18.04 LTS on a newly purchased Razer Blade 15 mid 2019 laptop. Got video card drivers and everything working, but ran into an issue with steam.
Steam installs fine, and it runs, installs updates, and lets me log in, but immediately after log in it gives me an error "Could not connect to the Steam network" and exits. My network connection is fine, and clearly steam CAN connect since I can log in.
I have tried installing it via apt-get and also from the steam-latest.deb but have the same issue in both cases. I also tried it on a completely clean install and it did the same thing. Running steam via terminal to see the logs shows no errors, it just exits. In addition I tried the same thing using Ubuntu 19.04 and had the same issue, yet I tried Manjaro for fun earlier and steam worked fine (but I want to use Ubuntu). I also tried steam --reset but this just lets me log in again and installs updates but then fails with the same error.
If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.
