Autoconnect request steam:network-control

store-requests
#1

Native games that use QtWebEngineProcess crash without the network-control interface connected. We’d like to request auto-connect for network-control in the steam snap.

#2

network-control seems a bit heavy-handed for something like steam IMO - I wonder if instead network or network-observe or similar should be updated for whatever is causing this crash.

Any chance you can provide more details on the crash since I expect this would affect similar Qt based applications? Thanks.

This is the denial:

@alexmurray how would you feel about us adding unshare syscall to the steam-support interface?

#5

This feels more appropriate IMO - do you know what argument is being used with unshare since ideally we would scope it to just that (I am guessing it is CLONE_NEWNET but it would be useful to keep this as strict as possible).
