      If you want to start manually the daemon this is the command:

      LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/click.ubuntu.com/ubsync/current/Owncloud-Sync/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/lib/ && /opt/click.ubuntu.com/ubsync/current/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/OwncloudSyncd

      You can play with it according to : https://doc.owncloud.org/desktop/2.1/advancedusage.html

      An example of output.
      https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/R3DwRYtxmR/

      Looking back at the code, I remember why I didn't push the arm64 ... the type of architecture is hardcoded and i don't know the c++, making the journey quite hard. So any help is welcome for that.

        @ernest thanks.
        Interestingly the command works and my folder gets synced: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/CXf3VWmB3n/
        After executing the command, the app also shows a "last-synced" date. The service status still is "Stopped".

        So the service just cannot be started by the app. Perhaps it is an AppArmor issue?!

          On my side the app doesn't any issue on a fresh install ;), so I doubt apparmor.

          likely while playing you messed up something.
          please ensure that the file is correct, as below.

          Look into .config/ubsync/ubsync.conf, ensure that your timer is different than 0

            @ernest Ha, that's it!
            In that file the exec was referring to the wron path: ..../arm-linux-gnueabihf/...
            I changed it to "aarch64-linux-gnu" and now it works!

            Obviously that file is not getting purged, when clearing app data with UT-Tweak-Tool, because it is not part of the app-directory...

            Edit:
            Hm, but it is still not possible to trigger a sync from within the app.
            There is an error that it could not find libowncloudsync.so.0: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Wzp55yHnvq/

            But I can still trigger the sync with the terminal command.

              I wouldn't be surprise there is a remaining bit of armhf code somewhere.(How were you able to install it ??? on arm64 phone)

              I suggest to remove the app and search manually for any ubsync and Nextcloud or Owncloud related, then delete them.
              like sudo find / -iname "ubsync"

                @ernest I cleaned up everything and reinstalled your version. And now it works.

                How were you able to install it ??? on arm64 phone

                I built an arm64 version of ubsync... but the contained pre-compiled owncloud libraries were still armhf. And I think the qmake .pro-file did also create armhf path's and so on...

                  @Luksus Yes, the architecture is hardcoded everywhere in this app 😕

                    @luksus I tried changing the path in OwncloudSyncd.conf as you described and the sync client works. Is there any chance of getting this into the OpenStore? How can I help?

                      @ruedigerkupper I think @ernest just should put his arm64 version in the store...

                        As explained, the code between arch version has to be the same on openstore. Currently the app has been written in c++/qml with hardcoded arch...
                        Thus the code needs to be updated for multiarch... It's beyond my capabilities.

                          @ernest in openstore you can just upload click packages for every arch separately.
                          I don't get the problem.

                            @luksus no, this one has a script in background and needs to be manually review.
                            Usually brian asks for the source, compile it by itself and upload the packages.

                            So if the source are not public, no upload.

                              @ernest ahhh, because it is unconfined. Ok, I understand.

                              So, did you build the shipped binaries by yourself? If yes, perhaps you could tell me what is needed to build them and I could try to integrate it in a clickable build.

                              The last time I tried to build the the needed binaries, I have had no luck, but I also was not sure, if I even got the right sources...

                                Why do you want to build it by yourself ?

                                Yes i did build the lib by myself and change the arch in the code to arm64.

                                  @ernest to know, waht is needed to integrate the build of the lib into the clickable build...in the end with different architectures.

                                    I created the fork of the UBSync with included arm64 support - It works, but it definitely needs a revision. I believe, that most of the steps are correct, but especially, the 32bit build needs a re-revision - it should be principally equal as the forked one - the same binaries (I only changed paths to enable multiarch).

                                    Changes are described in README.

                                    I had no luck with including the build process into the package itself because it went me into the dependency hell in the container (given probably by mixed repos in the default container - I'm not experienced enough with clickable and docker to deal with in reasonable time). I also experienced errors (Access Forbidden) with the ubports binaries of owncloudcmd extracted from deb packages. The same I experienced for some of older self-compiled owncloud versions. I finally build v2.5.3 in libertine, extracted binaries and it works.

                                    The fork is now on my GitHub
                                    The 64-bit click package is also there for testing

                                      @belohoub - thank you so much for your work on this! Testing using Volla phone, OTA-16 RC, I was able to add my Nextcloud account (hosted by OwnCube) and setup my sync folders - but I got an error message ("! Start Service") when I press the "Start" button in the "Sync Service" page.

                                      Best regards,
                                      Steve Berson

                                        Super !

                                        Are you on telegram ? let's find a smooth way for the users to upgrade on openstore.

                                          @totalsonic Well, I think this is just the "information", not "error" about starting the service. However, I also experienced troubles with starting the service, which were solved by service restart(s) ... I have only "ported" and "multi-arched" the build process, but unfortunately I don't have experience with the app.

                                          @ernest As pointed above, I guess, there are severe issues and inconveniences related to the QT application or the service, unfortunately I have very limited experience with QT a QML. My current job limited to the build process and "grep&replace" code snippets. On the other hand this app looks to be essential for many users trying ub-touch (including me)... I agree, lets try to remove the "worst case issues" and somehow push it to the open-store.

                                          @ernest I shared my telegram alias with you through the chat

                                            @belohoub - except it was indeed a message error, as syncing did not Start at all.
