Cannot install talk on fresh nextcloud 18 install

Nextcloud version: 18.0.0.10
Operating system and version: Centos 8.1.1911
Apache: Apache/2.4.37 (centos)
PHP version: PHP 7.4.1 (cli)

Hey guys, i get this error when trying to install talk on a fresh nextcloud 18 install:

[PHP] Error: Cannot declare class OCA\Talk\Migration\Version2000Date20170707093535, because the name is already in use at /var/www/html/nextcloud/apps/spreed/lib/Migration/Version2000Date20170707093535.php#31

I’ve done a fresh install 3 times a row and still got the same problem.

I saw on the talk app page that it’s in alpha for nextcloud 18 so maybe it’s a bug linked to this new release?

Anyone know what can i do about that?

Thanks!

OK… I solved it. For whatever reason. Spreed seems to have been pre-installed but not active. after removing the folder from the app folder and restarting the server, I was able to install talk.

I’ve tried again doing what you did but got the same error.

But after the install error pops up i noticed there was still an “activate” button available.

I just pressed it and it works.

So it’s a non blocking install error i guess!

I had a simulary issue. I tried to reinstall Talk/spreed but faild very often. I want to share my full solution for anyone who stuck in the same situation as I did.

Please be warned that we will drop/delete all the Chats. Make sure to backup your chat’s/Database if you want to.

First I removed spreed:
sudo -u www-data php occ app:remove spreed
Then I cleaned the things in the Datebase (in my case mariadb) Thank goes to j-ed
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS oc_talk_commands; DROP TABLE IF EXISTS oc_talk_guests; DROP TABLE IF EXISTS oc_talk_participants; DROP TABLE IF EXISTS oc_talk_participants_org_20200403; DROP TABLE IF EXISTS oc_talk_rooms; DROP TABLE IF EXISTS oc_talk_signaling; DELETE FROM oc_migrations WHERE app='spreed'; DELETE FROM oc_preferences WHERE appid='spreed';

Then to make sure this error wont happen I executed some mariadb commands too:
set global innodb_large_prefix=on;set global innodb_file_format=Barracuda;

Then I made sure everything is working fine or will get fixed by:
sudo -u www-data php occ maintenance:repair

While installing the app, the error promt out, but I could just enable spreed and it worked again (all Data is gone, of course)
sudo -u www-data php occ app:install spreed
sudo -u www-data php occ app:enable spreed

Same error found here, appeared when installing via console: occ app:install spreed
We need to report this to GitHub if there is no matching issue: https://github.com/nextcloud/spreed/issues
I’ll see if I find time tomorrow.
