[SOLVED]: Nextcloud not behaving correctly

[kappaMember]

I installed nextcloud-desktop, which I use on all my computers to keep specific folders sync’d, but I’m having an issue with it and my non existent experience with antix and the programs coming with it are leaving me confused.
In all my other systems the first time nextcloud-desktop starts it asks me to login to the web client, after doing so and giving it the ok it never asks for that again.
However, here every time it starts it asks me to do the web login. I normally keep cookies set to delete when I close my browser so I thought I’d make an exception for the nextcloud instance I use. It did not help. So I thought maybe it was because I use a different browser from the default (librewolf), so I authorized nextcloud from firefox instead. Same problem.
Should it be relevant, I am using icewm.

I installed nextcloud-desktop

I downloaded the AppImage (file ‘Nextcloud-33.0.2-x86_64.AppImage’), made it executable (using ‘chmod u+x <path the file>’ in terminal) and started it from the terminal.
A GUI window popped up and the following has been printed to the terminal:

[3789:3926:0402/123922.839543:ERROR:bus.cc(408)] Failed to connect to the bus: Failed to connect to socket /builds/sysadmin/craft-ci/linux-64-gcc/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory
[minigbm:drv_helpers.c(364)] DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CREATE_DUMB failed (43, 13)

The last line was repeated several times.
My antiX has no directory ‘/builds/’.

Regarding the browser, could you try a chromium-based one? (With Google Chrome and MS Edge being dominant, perhaps, there could be some, ahem, let’s call them optimisations expecting chromium-based browsers.)

Alright, after an unsuccessful attempt at installing ungoogled chromium I installed chromium, alas even with that one the result is the same.

I do not use NextCloud, hence I have very little knowledge.
The closest thing (apart from a closed bug) I managed to find via web-search is:
1) Keyring (to store the password securely)
https://help.nextcloud.com/t/nextcloud-must-open-my-browser-to-authenticate-every-time-my-computer-starts-up/139489
sudo apt install gnome-keyring
might solve the issue.

But I have experience that some browsers demand password to unlock the keyring when started which is annoying since I do not store passwords in browsers.

2) If the 1st does not help, then perhaps: PHP-FPM?
https://help.nextcloud.com/t/nextcloud-clients-wont-connect-but-i-can-login-via-web/157120 (with FPM = FastCGI Process Manager = ?).

That did it. I feel like such a dummy… All this time I just assumed a keyring was already installed.
Sorry T_T
I was starting to consider rclone at this point.

And I don’t get why gnome-keyring isn’t a dependency since the program wants it so badly…

I guess there may be other keyrings available.

Please modify title of the 1st post, if possible (within the set time limit),e.g. by prepending ‘[SOLVED]’ to it thus marking topic as solved.
If not possible, send a private message to a moderator to do it for you.
