Getting this when trying to install the Nextcloud desktop client from this PPA on PureOS:

I was told that PureOS needs to ship the keys for that repo? Would be cool if we can get that fixed so people can use Nextcloud.

I don’t know if this will help (I am new to Linux) but I got NextCloud on my Librem 13 by entering this command in Terminal:

sudo apt -y install owncloud-client

Then find the ‘Online Accounts’ app from the search bar and select ‘Owncloud’ and enter your credentials.

No. The key import fails. You can import it manually:

At the https://launchpad.net/~nextcloud-devs/+archive/ubuntu/client under Technical details about this PPA you have the link to the key: http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x60EE47FBAD3DD469

Save the key (everything from -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- to -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----) including those lines to a text file with gpg extension. Then start program Software & Updates go to Authentication tab and import the key. You should be able to sudo apt update without problems now.

Hello mladen,
with my new ibrem13 [now finally shipped (thanks for your support!)] I had the same Problem trying to install nextcloud-client.
I followed your advice and copied the PGP-Block in a gpg-file as shown in the Picture and added this file to the trusted software.
As result I unfortunately got the error, that the file might probably not be a gpg, or broken!

Where is my fault, or is it the link http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x60EE47FBAD3DD469 which is out of date?

I think i need the client because the pureos included webdav-Solution for Nextcloud is not suitable to compile tex-files with i.e. texmaker or gummy

Thank you in advance!

Have you updated, upgraded and full-upgraded your system?

[gqbach]

Thanks for the info beFree, but your hint did not have any efect…

The named error is the same. Any further Ideas?

[anon10067017]

I’d love to help you more but for now I don’t have access to the computer running pureOS so I can’t help you much here.
Considering that some people succeeded installing and running this software, let’s make sure you ran these exact commands in this exact order:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt full-upgrade

If these won’t help, unfortunately I won’t be able to help you for now. Maybe someone else could.

[gqbach]

I did everything as you told.
I even tried different Browser and Editors to copy/paste and store the gpg-file, but the problem/error is the same…

Will a new installation of pureOS help?
