Nextcloud client not able to configure

Hello,

I've installed nextcloud both from Community repo and from source site (appimage file) and I get the same behaviour where I can't run the initial configuration because another window to browse files and see status of your profile is overlaying on top of the initial configuration wizard.

If I try to click on any of the menu buttons from the window on top (settings, add account) it doesn't react but if I press exit it does...

I can see the config wizard react to my clicks and keystrokes but is quite difficult to figure out what I'm typing where.

I hope you can help me as I can't seem to find any other thread anywhere related to this issue.

I'm using artix openrc base with bspwm / picom / polybar

Thanks!

you mean from the AUR?  i dont find nextcloud in a community repo.  I have every repo activate except the gremlins ones and i cant find a nexcloud except in the aur.  which community repo is it in?

Alt-Tab doesn't switch between the open windows?

You need to enable community repository in /etc/pacman.conf to gain access to it.
Code: [Select]
$ pacman -Ss ^nextcloud\$
community/nextcloud 23.0.3-1
    A cloud server to store your files centrally on a hardware controlled by you

@OP: Package nextcloud is not in Artix repositories but in Arch repository "community". Personally, I never used it (I use decentralized Syncthing instead, which is in Artix repositories and has services for all init systems supported by Artix), so I'm afraid I can't help with this.

Oh so this is something likely dependent on systemd.  Yah, no thanks to that.

I have nextcloud successfully installed on a LXQT-openrc installation, and have not encountered the problem that you have.

Thanks for your reply, unfortunately I need to use NC Client (not server) to sync my files/directories.

I guess it's related to picom/bspwm. I'm trying to get around with the cli applet from the client.

so you could disable picom temporarily as a work around until another solution presents itself?  Clearly the picom has an issue? Not ideal though.

That's something I also thought on. I will try and come back to you guys.

Try to
Code: [Select]
pkill picom
picom >picom.log 2>&1
and paste picom.log to a paste service, if it isn't empty.

Note that picom has replaced compton, and recently the deprecated compton.conf was removed from /etc/skel. Old configuration files are known to have issues with picom. Try moving or renaming the files $HOME/.config/{picom,compton}.conf and see if that solves your issue.

Coming back with some updates.

Disabling picom didn't make any difference, GUI still behaves as before.

I'm working with nextcloudcmd for now.

Using this query on a script with chmod 400 against a cron job.

nextcloudcmd --non-interactive --path {path.local} {path.remote} https://{user}:{password}@{url.NCServer}

Bit busy these days, will come back later with suggested outputs strajder, thanks!

No systemd dependency.
It's just not in the Artix repo's I guess? Not every missing package depend on systemd, in fact few do.

The package artix-archlinux-support 'provides' systemd and systemd-libs as a dummy.

So if you enable the Arch repo's as per https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/Repositories#Arch_repositories
and install a package which hard depends on systemd it just won't work. systemd will not get installed.
