Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): Nov 4 2022
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) (64 bit)
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: [Yes/No] Yes
  • Have you checked for system updates?: [Yes/No] Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Since Nov 2nd streaming stopped working. I realized the next day, on the 3rd. I used different devices to run Link App: two different Android phones and a windows PC. I can see logs/remote_connections.txt file being updated with 'Responding to streaming request # from IP:port with k_ERemoteDeviceStreamingInPreogress' but file ./logs/streaming_log.txt been unchanged since Nov 2nd.

In Link App, I can see the steam computer updating its status: offline/green checked dot as the linux server is online/offline.
I cannot pass the network test or start streaming.

This was working.
I did some changes to Settings/Remote Play/Advanced Host Options but I don't remember the initial options. Now, I unchecked all boxes. I followed the link at the bottom(View support information) and I see steam is not listening on all the ports mentioned in that web page:
user@host:~$ netstat -lpne | grep steam
(Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)

According to https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/0689-74B8-92AC-10F2 I'm missing server sockets for UDP port 27031 and TCP port 27037. Obviously, I didn't checked if those ports were listening when streaming was working.

I did install an xbox controller on Nov, 3rd morning and played only locally, but I don't see any link with the streaming problem.

The driver error messages I see in 'system information'(see below) were probably there before having this issue as I didn't install anything else since.
I see no error message to start investigating.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Unfortunately, I don't have the steps to reproduce.
