Nextcloud client not running on startup, also machine not automatically connecting to WiFi.

I installed Nextcloud by Flatpak from the MX Package Installer. On the app's own General Settings, "Launch on System Startup" is checked but has no effect. I could copy and paste the command from the icon into the "Application Autostart" in "Session and Startup". But I wonder if there may be a better way of resolving this.

Also, for some reason I'm not connecting to WiFi automatically upon login. It wasn't this way initially. It may not even be consistent on every reboot (this I'm not sure of). I wonder if I may have done/installed something, but really I don't know where to start looking.

I would suggest trying nextcloud-client from our own test repository instead. I have heard that owncloud-client is also fully compatible with the Nextcloud server, so I'll see if I can backport a newer version of that, too.

I just uninstalled the Flatpak version and installed from the testing repo and it's running on startup now. TIme to test the wifi connection... I'm using an MBP Early 2015 and I know it has usb-interfering-with-wifi problems so I'll just have to do a bit more testing of it.

I recently installed mx 18 on two separate machines, and nextcloud would not run on startup on either machine. It turns out that in both cases, the problem was an incorrect nextcloud command in the autostart list. In settings, I selected 'Session and Startup', clicked the 'Application Autostart' tab, and scrolled down to find Nextcloud. I selected it and clicked 'Edit'. The command was:

Code: Select all

/tmp/.mount_NextclFELIwh/usr/bin/nextcloud

I edited this to:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/nextcloud

And it is now working on both machines.
