Desktop: No connection after upgrading to 2.5

[heyarne]

Expected behaviour

I have two accounts set up that I'm using at the same time; one is for an older Nextcloud instance that I don't control and don't know the version of, one is for one which I do control and keep up to date. I expected to be able to use both after upgrading just like before.

Actual behaviour

I can't connect to the latter. While it just showed me "No connection" for a while. When I log out explicitly and re-open the client, an authentication popup is shown. After authenticating it's stuck giving me a message saying "Connecting as heyarne...". My avatar shows up but it keeps on connecting indefinitely.

[bonanza123]

I guess I had a similar problem, did you try disabling the end to end encryption app in the server?

[heyarne]

Indeed, that fixed it. It seems like I have to keep the E2E-App disabled, is that correct? Is this mentioned somewhere and is someone working on a fix?

[MegaCookie]

Disabling end to end encryption on the server was the trick. However it's a pity that we cannot try end to end encryption with this client yet.

[digver]

Thanks, I had a similar problem, two accounts on the same server, one account one not connect. Disabling the E2E app solved it.

[eknoes]

Solved it for me too.

[bonanza123]

Problem persists with NC15 and client version 2.5.1.
