How should I approach resolving this issue? Thanks in advance. I am assuming this is what is causing an error, but Wine ends up having a fatal error and returns the follow error message.

When attempting to run it, it tries to install the Microsoft VC Redist Package. I am having a similar issue to what someone has previously posted, specifically with Sea of Thieves.

I do not wish to give sudo access to users on my system just so that they can run Steam games, nor do I wish to unnecessarily modify polkit default policies.# Distribution used to test : Xubuntu 18.04 amd64 Please please revert to the normal behaviour or at least provide a justified reason for the new behaviour together with a better workaround than clicking cancel 50 times. Moreover a user should not need sudo privileges to run the Steam client.There is already a network connection, Steam should have no need to modify it (and certainly not at a system-wide level).I would like to reiterate the concerns of others: I can also confirm that if you click "cancel" a sufficiently large number of times (order of 50 or so), the message eventually goes away and the client runs normally - suggesting it really doesn't need the privileges it is requesting. I can also confirm the steam client specifically trips the polkit rule for .modify.system, which in turn asks the user to enter an admin password.įor some distribution set-ups (such as default Ubuntu 20.10) this blocks the desktop environment.

I'm also seeing this since the update before the update that takes you to runtime 0.20210518.3 (June 8th 2021). Steps for reproducing this issue:īoot Steam on Ubuntu 20.04 on non-admin account This is new since something like Monday or Tuesday, so presumably an update (but IDK if it's Steam or Ubuntu). I think there are then issues with cloudsaves, but am not easily able to confirm that. Steam then boots up and runs games seemingly just fine. Closing the window continues to make a new prompt even after Steam is closed. This prompt cannot be removed so long as Steam is open - closing the window or killing the process just reopens another prompt. Whenever I start Steam on my non-admin account, I get a prompt from NetworkManager to change global network settings. Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
