Some Apps don't open via any method of execution

Maybe there is some kind of lockfile… Try renaming .config/Nextcloud and .local/share/Nextcloud. In order to do this, you’ll need to display hidden files in Dolphin using Ctrl+H.

22

both those paths dont exist, and even if it did, it would not explain why some apps like settings and discover stop working after a few hours of use and show the same error as nextcloud, as previously mentioned

also now discover isnt working. i just opened and closed that app to replicate the issue, the above journald logs show the exact moment it opened properly and teh exact moment it stopped working

24

at this point i would try creating a new user and see if you get the same misbehavior on that acct with default config files.

if so, then something is borked about your install, or the nextcloud package.

if not, then it’s just your user settings somewhere that i affecting things.

i already tried it, and everything worked perfectly. but i spent about an eternity on this rice : (

then you have no choice but to try and weed thru your config file to find the offending file and then try to resolve it.

you can try this brute force method:

# brute force troubleshooting...
mv ~/.config ~/.configBORKED
mv ~/.local ~/.localBORKED
# logout and log back in again to force plasma to recreate the folders with default settings
# open split views of the folders for comparison and file copy
dolphin --split ~/.config ~/.configBORKED
dolphin --split ~/.local ~/.localBORKED
# copy back half of the BORKED folder contents at a time and relog to see if issue returns
# if it does, then delete the folder again, relog, and only copy half of that previous half
# repeat until the culprit is found, then finally, copy back everything BUT that culprit bit

Beautiful, ill get back to you in a (long) bit
