Automatic logout is great. Even greater, if 2FA be remembered anyway (so that if 2FA enabled, re-login is possible with usr/pwd only as long as the 2FA cookie isnāt deleted). Does anyone know?
NC 19 proposes bcmath and gmp be installed. Does anyone what these are used for and why NC proposes them?
I asked my provider to install them on my managed server and he said they would be unnecessary and could lead to data loss. Does anyone why these could cause trouble?
Those two modules are on mathmatics
One for precise calculs with a lot of numbers after the decimal bcmath and one for arbitrary calculs gmp
They donāt lead to data loss and your provider say that because he doesnāt want to help you in anyway on things he doesnāt know anything.
Most likely to do with Excel-like office programs (Collabora and/or OnlyOffice).
They rely on the math abilities of the underlying OS.
Those libraries act as accelerators.
And now Office has been made part of Nextcloud Hubā¦

The modules are required for passwordless login. As documented at https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/installation/source_installation.html#prerequisites-for-manual-installation.

uh, are you sure?
The result is in the current server admin documentation:
https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/19/admin_manual/installation/source_installation.html
- PHP module bcmath (for passwordless login)
- PHP module gmp (for passwordless login)
In the server code:

No, Iām not. Thatās why I said āmost likelyāā¦
The reason I brought up Excel is because this was the simplest way to demonstrate FDIV
This was 25+ years ago, when top of the line CPUs were 66MHz.

Hi,
did anyone find a weird behavior about files preview on this Nextcloud 19?
For example it generates previews for all files (I mean also .pdf, .odt, etc which should not be the default behavior from what I readā¦) or it doesnāt find some previews when loading a folder and it gets stuck till 404 timeout on that failed get, actually not showing the folder list for 10 or more seconds.
Thank you,
Marco
Use embedded previews of ZIP-like files by juliushaertl Ā· Pull Request #20319 Ā· nextcloud/server Ā· GitHub previews for open document are enabled by default since 19 because no external tool is required to generate it.
ok, good to know, but is it normal that I get .pdf previews too?
And even if my config file contains:
āenabledPreviewProvidersā =>
array (
0 => āOC\Preview\PNGā,
1 => āOC\Preview\JPEGā,
2 => āOC\Preview\GIFā,
),
Iād expect to get only images previews with this settings. Am I wrong?

Hello @ynjo,
this is an news article created by a bot.
Please open a new topic regarding your question.
Thank you.
EDIT:
hi @anon71540698,
did you find the option for āoptional automatic logoutā.
In the docs the only option mentioned are āauto_logoutā via the config.php file, in the GUI as far as I see there are no options.
No I didnāt.
My understanding is, this is in the same category as Talk v.9 client for Android - announced on June 3rd, still not availableā¦
Auto logout: https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/20298
I donāt think there is a gui option to enable it.
Hi! Iāve been waiting for Deck integration in Calendar. It was announced, but i can not find where i can enable it. Please help me find an instruction
Yep, you are not the only one, this would be great indeed.
According to this comment from @juliushaertl (thanks for your hard work) the server part is ready, but to make it usable, other areas have to get changes too. So at this moment you cannot use it yet, but an important step has been taken.
