Linux

In Linux, the client stores its configuration in $HOME/.local/share/data/ownCloud/owncloud.cfg[1].

It also seems to store copies of most or all synced files in the same folder, $HOME/.local/share/data/ownCloud/, which seems rather wasteful of disk space as well as completely unnecessary. (To be investigated in more detail later...)

Issues

As of 2015-08-31, the latest server is incompatible with the desktop client packaged in Ubuntu 15.04. To fix the problem, upgrade to the latest client. Instructions are here, but they do things in the wrong order; here's my recommended method: <bash> sudo -s wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:ownCloud:desktop/xUbuntu_15.04/Release.key apt-key add - < Release.key echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:/ownCloud:/desktop/xUbuntu_15.04/ /' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/owncloud-client.list apt-get update apt-get install owncloud-client </bash>

Diagnosis

  • You can use wget to simulate WebDAV requests:
    • wget https://<hostname>/owncloud/remote.php/webdav/ --no-check-certificate --user=<username> --password=<password> --method=PROPFIND

Outlinks

  • Discussion:
    • 2015-08-06 Woozle: trying to figure out why client incorrectly reports bad credentials (Solved: turned out to be a bug in the client, fixed in latest download.)
