Description of problem: Network problema error, but it is not a network problem. How reproducible: Just do a fresh install of mageia 3, install steam package and try to use it. PROBLEM: Mageia 3 uses tmpfs as /tmp and steam tryes to download files in this diectory SOLUTION: change the temp directory that uses steam to ~/tmp By the way: how can I get rid of tmp as tmpfs? (this is not at fstab) Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
Or use /var/tmp.... Just found the way to disable tmp as tmpfs: systemctl mask tmp.mount (and reboot) to re-enable: systemctl unmask tmp.mount
works fine here as default (none on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,relatime) from fdisk)

Manuel: may be a difference in the RAM of the system. What says "df" about free space in /tmp? My test system reports this: tmpfs 436M 40K 436M 1% /tmp And steam (fresh installation) must be downloading files larger than 436Mb... the error is reported as a network problem but it is the tmp disk space.
I have more 1.5Go. You should open a bug upstream for that then.
If you want to check the limits, you can try a virtual machine with different RAM configurations (1gB, 2Gb, 4Gb). I think the space in /tmp depends on it. With 4Gb the tmpfs reports 1.9 Gb free. I dont' know hoy much needs steam, but I think changing the tmp directory to /var/tmp or ~/tmp will solve the problem for all cases.
Please check the previous comment - we cannot change complete distro behaviour due to one 3rd party application. Best report that upstream. FWIW, steam works fine here with 4GB RAM and /tmp as tmpfs, since Mageia 3.
