For whatever reason there seems to be no Snap package of the desktop client available. But there is a Snap package of the Nextcloud server instead, although Snap was primarily designed for desktop applications. Well, we donât have to understand everything, I guessâŠ
Anyway, on Ubuntu I would prefer the PPA or the Flatpak variant, in that order.
I asume you tried to use the PPA. As I said, for the PPA you have to be at least on the latest LTS release of Ubuntu, which would be 20.04 Focal. But the message you posted, suggests that you are on Ubuntu 18.04 Xenial. Is there a specific reason why you are still using 18.04 on your desktop?
If you have to stay on 18.04, I would recommend using the Flatpak. But make sure you uninstall the old package or at least make sure that it is not running respective youâre not signed in anymore, before you use a package from another source
Hi I have tried and failed to get next cloud client to run from UBUNTU 20.4. It works on windows.
Will there be a fix for this soon. I get a timeout looking for status.php
Hi, I installed nextcloud-desktop from the PPA, but I canât figure out how to start it.
Itâs not in the lubuntu menus, and nextcloud-desktop and nextcloud-client both do nothing. Also man nextcloud-desktop-doc also does nothing. Am I missing something?
Iâm probably missing something obvious (or not obvious lol)

EDIT: OK I figured it out; the binary is called ânextcloudâ once youâve installed itâŠ
I also got these messages⊠hope theyâre not important. I was migrating from the AppImage v. -3.12.0-x86_64. PPAâs version is 3.12.0-20240214.183952.1c1e752c4-1.0~jammy1
