Help installing Owncloud on kubuntu precise pangolin

[bra|10n]

Ok so I guess I should wait...
I tried installing the deb from a konsole and yes it gave all of the same depends.
But am I right in thinking if these depends were not in my repos then the konsole would have reported "... but is not installable."

kubuntu@Precise:~/Documents$ sudo dpkg -i package owncloud-client_1.0.1-1_amd64.deb

The client needs some dependencies you won't get if you install the .deb file. You can get a full package (er, ok, interpret that as you wish!) by creating the file

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/owncloud2012.list

And pasting this line into it:

deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:ownCloud:ownCloud2012/xUbuntu_12.04/ /

followed by an update and then

apt-get install owncloud-client

Here are the dependencies:

steve@x1:~$ [B]apt-cache depends owncloud-client[/B]
owncloud-client
  Depends: libqt4-xml
  Depends: libqt4-core
  Depends: libqt4-gui
  Depends: libqt4-network
  Depends: iproute
  Depends: net-tools
  Depends: oxygen-icon-theme
  Depends: libcsync0
  Depends: ntp
  Depends: libcsync-plugin-owncloud
  Depends: libcsync-plugin-smb
  Depends: libcsync-plugin-sftp

Bugs me that it wants to install ntp when we already have the perfectly usable ntpdate. But, worse -- the client appears to be broken, at least for me and some others: http://forum.owncloud.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2323

I decided to try OwnCube because it offered a linux client and it seemed a simpler alternative.
I did the registration thing and downloaded the Linux sync app Ubuntu-owncloud-client_1.0.1-1_amd64.deb but running this throws 'unmet dependencies error'.
Am I right assuming with OwnCube, OwnCloud isn't required?

bra|10n:
I get the same error message as you all the time.
SteveRiley:
A million thanks for all your help, but unfortunately nothing nothing has worked so far.
I am on hold for the moment, however, since I can't get into my router's config (blocked by mis isp), so no matter how far I get with the configuration, I can't share anything with other devices.

[SteveRiley]

My OwnCloud is running on a Ubuntu 11.10 server image, a t1.micro with an extra 24 GB disk at Amazon Web Services in the Oregon region.

My installation and configuration sequence:

• Followed the installation steps published in OwnCloud's support center
• Registered a subdomain of an existing domain at freedns.afraid.org and delegated it to Route 53 (AWS DNS service)
• (In Route 53) Created forward and reverse records for the server and an MX record for the domain
• Set up a Postfix server to receive email
• Enrolled my domain at CAcert and obtained a free SSL certificate
• Configured Apache for SSL only and installed the certificate

My OwnCloud instance is working as expected; I even imported my Google calendar without incident. The only problem I've encountered so far is a curious "authentication error" when I try upload files with Rekonq; uploads work fine with Firefox.

So... it's odd that you don't have libapache2-mod-php5, as that's a dependency of php5. Well, hold on...your installation might have satisfied the dependency differently. Note:

ubuntu@ip-10-248-12-144:~$ [B]apt-cache depends php5[/B]
php5
 |Depends: libapache2-mod-php5
 |Depends: libapache2-mod-php5filter
 |Depends: php5-cgi
  Depends: php5-fpm
  Depends: php5-common

My Apache doesn't throw the error you're seeing because AWS's server build automatically adds an FQDN to /etc/hosts:

ubuntu@ip-10-248-12-144:~$ [B]cat /etc/hosts[/B]
127.0.0.1 localhost
# Added by cloud-init
127.0.1.1       ip-10-248-12-144.us-west-2.compute.internal ip-10-248-12-144

OwnCloud version 4 is due out in three week or so, I think.

Ok I had a shot at this :eek: and though I too will need's help, just posting here to share what's happened that hasn't been mentioned above in case it sheds some light...

SR, after starting here,

sudo apt-get purge owncloud
sudo apt-get --purge autoremove

I got the output, "owncloud is not installed", nothing to remove. Good.
Then,

sudo apt-get install php5-sqlite owncloud

I noticed in the Konsole a running message,

apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName

Perhaps this could be related to the OP's sucess/failure on different machines?

For me also libapache2-mod-php5 was not installed.

[SteveRiley]

Found something... try this:

sudo a2enmod php5

[SteveRiley]

During your reinstallation process, how did you remove the packages? apt-get remove leaves configuration files hanging around, and therefore reinstalls won't actually be pristine. You need to apt-get purge to clean up left-over configs.

Sorry that I couldn't be of more assistance. I'm just beginning to learn OwnCloud myself, and haven't experienced breakage, so I haven't had to delve into any troubleshooting.

[carlosestensser]

I installed pangolin in my notebook and I managed to install owncloud just fine (Actually, I just managed to login through the web browser, but I don't know what to do from now on).
The worst part is that I don't want owncloud in my notebook!

However, in my main computer I can't get it going: I reinstalled EVERY apache - mysl - sqlite - owncloud package but nothing happens, and I am sure that I am not missing any package since I have compared both systems.

[SteveRiley]

It appears that Apache is failing to parse the PHP files so rather than executing them, it simply delivers them as HTML to your browser.

As I'm rather a beginner myself when it comes to Apache, I can't offer any other immediate ideas. When I searched Google for "browser downloads php file", I found some interesting results. Perhaps his will help.

[carlosestensser]

yes

[SteveRiley]

Did you restart Apache?

sudo service apache2 restart

[carlosestensser]

Still the same result.

[SteveRiley]

One package that's installed on my OwnCloud instance but missing from yours is libapache2-mod-php5. Which is odd, because this package is a dependency of several other packages that appear in your list. Try installing that.
