NextCloud Client Issues
-
Anyone else having issues with the newer NextCloud clients? Now that you don't log into the client directly but instead use the "log into your browser" system we can't get the client to work on Linux or Mac (and we've not tried Windows.) Going to old clients generally works, but this doesn't seem like a long term solution. NextCloud is fully updated, it seems to just be the clients that no longer work.

I don't follow this. I am fully updated with both the server and the clients on windows. What is the "log in to your browser" concept? My windows workstation is working just like it always has.

That's not how the Linux or MacOS clients work. You don't log into the client any longer (what version are you on?)
If you look at Ubuntu, the only current review of the client says that it hasn't worked since 2.5.1, which is exactly what we've seen on all platforms. They've removed the username/password login mechanism for a token system that doesn't do anything.

17.0.1 and 2.5.3?

The windows version temporary redirects opens your web browser, you sign in, Grant access and then the client connects.

That's what Linux and MacOS are supposed to do, but neither goes anywhere after you do that.
-
Mine is working on Fedora, turns out that that is 2.6.1... newer than we are seeing on other platforms.
-
My only issue is with the iOS version not connecting my Nextcloud server. That client provides the web login and the classic login.
-
2.6.1 AppImage on Ubuntu gets closer, but still does nothing. It never lets you input the token.
-
Part of the issue is that the "Grant Access" button does absolutely nothing.
-
The built in NextCloud Online Account system in Ubuntu works just fine. But that doesn't sync files.

17.0.1 and 2.6.1
I didn't know that about the other OSes. I don't think I would like that.

For me, 2.6.1 doesn't even offer ANY form of log in. Nothing.

Holy Cow. I just went to setup a new account and it did! Funny though, when it upgraded, it just continued using my credentials, so I never noticed the change. For kick I just logged out and back in and it used my browser.
Why are they using the extra step?

No idea. But so far, on MacOS and Linux it goes to the web page but never moves past there. It just sits there, forever.

This grant access button is a fucking nightmare. doesm't work in Edge or IE. Issues with Chrome and Firefox sometimes.

FF is what I've been trying it on. It launches the default browser and that's what I have set.

Yes. I've tried all the default browsers on Windows and Firefox.
My laptop never had an issue. But has had the NC client for a year or more.
A new Fedora + CInnamon laptop works but every reboot pops the grant/allow disaster.

I did notice they also are developing a nextcloud drive client. Maybe a culprit?

it probably has to do with the ability to use 2FA. that's what MS's apps on mobile do - they kick out to the default browser where you authenticate and provide 2FA if needed, then it goes back to the app and you're in.
