Nextcloud client starts without asking

[acutbal]

Hello!!
I’ve noticed that, despite I have disabled the autostart option, the Nextcloud client continues to start without asking.
This is very annoying, and dangerous because it can delete/modify files without permission.

I’ve searched some info in the forum, I’ve only found this:

Not requested Nextcloud autostart automatically

Hi, after the first upgrade of this new year (2024) the graphical client of Nextcloud starts automatically asking to be configured. It does not start at login (auto-execution is disabled) but during the regular operation of the OS. I use a cli version of the client managed by cron. Before the last upgrade, everything was fine. Any ideas about the trigger that runs Nexcloud graphical client? Best

Any idea about how I could fix it?

Thank you very much!!

Hi @acutbal,

Please provide the output of:

systemctl list-units | grep --ignore-case next

Hello @Mirdarthos !!
This is the output:

I don´t see any output…

Best regards!!

Tip:

When posting terminal output, copy the output and paste it here, wrapped in three (3) backticks, before AND after the pasted text. Like this:

```
pasted text
```

Or three (3) tilde signs, like this:

~~~
pasted text
~~~

This will just cause it to be rendered like this:

Sed
sollicitudin dolor
eget nisl elit id
condimentum
arcu erat varius
cursus sem quis eros.

Instead of like this:

Sed sollicitudin dolor eget nisl elit id condimentum arcu erat varius cursus sem quis eros.

Alternatively, paste the text you wish to format as terminal output, select all pasted text, and click the </> button on the taskbar. This will indent the whole pasted section with one TAB, causing it to render the same way as described above.

Thereby increasing legibility thus making it easier for those trying to provide assistance.

On this forum here you need to have Trust Level 1 (=TL1) to be able to post screenshots and links in-line.

That’s dumb! Why is that?

Well, that’s because on our old forum we got tons of screenshots of text, links to SPAM, PR0N and other things you don’t want on a forum, so all the new users are prohibited from posting links and pics because of a few bad actors.

Additionally

If your language isn’t English, please prepend any and all terminal commands with LC_ALL=C. For example:

LC_ALL=C bluetoothctl

This will just cause the terminal output to be in English, making it easier to understand and debug.

You could also check for a .desktop file. Please post the output of:

ls -l ~/.config/autostart

…and:

ls -l /etc/xdg/autostart

This is a known issue - there is only one known way to work around it.

• VS Code Open File starts Nextcloud desktop client
• Not requested Nextcloud autostart automatically - #11 by cscs

Disable with a symlink > /dev/null

Thanks for the tip, many years in the forum and still forget this…

Hi @linux-aarhus !!
Thank you very much for the info, I’m going to check the links!!

At least, I’m not alone with this issue…

Best regards!!

[acutbal]

Hello @linux-aarhus me again…

After running the command suggested, I can’t see any output:

cat /usr/share/dbus-1/services/.com.nextcloudgmbh.Nextcloud.service
cat: /usr/share/dbus-1/services/.com.nextcloudgmbh.Nextcloud.service: No such file or directory

Is this normal?

Best regards!!

[soundofthunder]

@acutbal

/usr/share/dbus-1/services/.com.nextcloudg…

Should that period be there /.com ?

[linux-aarhus]

@acutbal

Is this normal?

muscle memory - I believe you are correct - it is a typo

There is this search [linux how to disable a dbus service - sx.nix.dk]

This may be the best way to [disable a named dbus service]

[acutbal]

Yay!!
I also figured out right now… This is the correct output:

cat /usr/share/dbus-1/services/com.nextcloudgmbh.Nextcloud.service 
[D-BUS Service]
Name=com.nextcloudgmbh.Nextcloud
Exec=/usr/bin/nextcloud --background

I’m going to try to disable this D-Bus service.

Best regards!!
