Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):

Log entries

Nextcloud

Please provide the log entries from your Nextcloud log that are generated during the time of problem (via the Copy raw option from Administration settings->Logging screen or from your nextcloud.log located in your data directory). Feel free to use a pastebin/gist service if necessary.

PASTE HERE

Web Browser

If the problem is related to the Web interface, open your browser inspector Console and Network tabs while refreshing (reloading) and reproducing the problem. Provide any relevant output/errors here that appear.

PASTE

Web server / Reverse Proxy

The output of your Apache/nginx/system log in /var/log/____:

PASTE HERE

Configuration

Nextcloud

The output of occ config:list system or similar is best, but, if not possible, the contents of your config.php file from /path/to/nextcloud is fine (make sure to remove any identifiable information!):

PASTE HERE

Apps

The output of occ app:list (if possible).

Tips for increasing the likelihood of a response

  • Use the preformatted text formatting option in the editor for all log entries and configuration output.
  • If screenshots are useful, feel free to include them.
    • If possible, also include key error output in text form so it can be searched for.
  • Try to edit log output only minimally (if at all) so that it can be ran through analyzers / formatters by those trying to help you.

Hi, can you please post the exact error message here?

Hey @hellofriend welcome to the Nextcloud community :waving_hand:

can you explain how you tried to activate dictionaries… and which languages you require, see also:

Dictionaries

Official documentation

`- dictionaries` add dictionaries space separated `en_US en_GB de_DE` etc.

By default only limited set of spelling dictionaries and thesauri are configured for CODE, mainly for performance reasons. The default set of languages is the following: de_DE en_GB en_US es_ES fr_FR it nl pt_BR pt_PT ru. With the dictionaries environment variable you can change this list. The dictionaries environment variable should contain the space separated list of language codes (optionally followed by country code). In order to save resources, it makes sense to load only those dictionaries that are actually needed.
