ownCloud Synching

[jonas]

Changes are not synching between the desktop app and the browser version.
There is no error message showing up at the desktop app.

Installing a client on Debian Squeeze:

apt-get install owncloud-client

  Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
  requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
  distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
  or been moved out of Incoming.
  The following information may help to resolve the situation:
  
  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   owncloud-client : Depends: libowncloudsync0 (= 1.5.0+dfsg-4~bpo70+1) but it is not going to be installed
                     Depends: libocsync0 (>= 0.60.3) but it is not installable
  E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

This is probably due to having backports in /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb https://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ wheezy-backports main

So comment that out and try again:

apt-get update ; apt-get install owncloud-client
  E: Unable to locate package owncloud-client

So it is only available in backports and Jessie.

So following ​https://software.opensuse.org/download/package?project=isv:ownCloud:desktop&package=owncloud-client

wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:ownCloud:desktop/Debian_7.0/Release.key
apt-key add - < Release.key  
echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:/ownCloud:/desktop/Debian_7.0/ /' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/owncloud-client.list 
apt-get update
apt-get install owncloud-client
  The following extra packages will be installed:
    libneon27 libowncloudsync0 libqt4-sql-sqlite libqtkeychain0 owncloud-client-l10n
  Suggested packages:
    libqt4-dev
  The following NEW packages will be installed:
    libneon27 libowncloudsync0 libqt4-sql-sqlite libqtkeychain0 owncloud-client owncloud-client-l10n

Created an account on the server and a Test directory for testing, shared with the admin group, sync and a ~/ownCloud/Test directory has appeared, create a text file for testing on the local file system and then check that it is on the remote server and it is.

I can't reproduce this problem, Jonas can you try adding a file to the Test directory I created and shared with the admin group?

[jonas]

I added a file to the test folder as user Jonas. I could only do that in the browser, not in the file manager, because the test folder does not show there, and that is the problem.
I'll send 2 screenshots, one of the files that are visible in the browser version and one from the file manager.

I don't know how to add them here..

See the Attachments section just under the ticket description, use that to upload them, then embed them like this:

Hmm, I don't know how I can reproduce this problem without a OSX machine (I don't have this problem on Linux), I'll see if I can borrow one tonight to do some testing.

[chris]

The ​ownCloud client for OSX is for OSX 10.7+ but the OSX machine I was going to use to test it is running OSX 10.6 and it won't install. I see if I can track another machine down...

A new version of the ownCloud client came out yesterday, the email announcement said:

I am happy to announce the release of ownCloud Desktop Client 1.8.2. This is a pure bugfix release focusing on sync abortion issues observed in 1.8.1 and earlier. We strongly recommend to update.

​https://mailman.owncloud.org/pipermail/announcements/2015-June/000068.html

I wonder if this new version solves the issues you were having?
