I’ve set Nextcloud to Launch on System startup on Fedora 41 but it does not start. How do I make sure the clients starts:
Nextcloud desktop client 3.15.3
I’m afraid we need a bit more information…
-
Which desktop environment do you use? Gnome, KDE Plasma, other?
-
How did you install the client? Package from Fedora repos, Flatpak, App Image?
-
What exactly do you mean when you say: “I set Nextcloud to start on boot on Fedora 41”, i.e. what exactly did you do?
Hint: If you install the package from the Fedora repos using sudo dnf install nextcloud-client, which I would recommend, at least for Gnome and Plasma the autostart will be set up automatically, and the corresponding file manager integration for Nautilus or Dolphin should also be installed automatically.
the Standard F41 gnome desktop
And which package did you install?
In case you have installed one of the Flatpaks, you could try to uninstall it (either via Gnome Software) or via command line:
flatpak uninstall com.nextcloud.desktopclient.nextcloud
and then install the rpm package from the Fedora repos instead, either via Gnome Software:
or via command line:
sudo dnf install nextcloud-desktop
and then reboot!
If it still doesn’t work, you could install gnome-tweaks, again either via Gnome Software or via CLI:
sudo dnf install gnome-tweaks
Open it, and go to the “Start-up programms” tab (I don’t know the exact term used in the English version) and check if Nextcloud is listed there. If it’s not, you can try to add it manually via the “+” button:
