Notes: New Note error

Created on 13 Sep 2018  路  4Comments  路  Source: nextcloud/notes

Nextcloud 13 (production server).

When we create a new note, we get this as the first line of text.

Error: (New note.txt) Missing Signature

generated as the first line of every message. We can delete it if we want (so we do), and the message otherwise seems to save and work as intended, but it's a bit un-nerving to see such an error message on the server.

We have tried disabling and even removing the app then reinstalling, but we get the same error every time. It's a recent phenomenon - only started happening a couple of weeks ago, and we remain clueless as to why. Google search has found nothing so far. Zero results for that string!

Let me know if there's anything we can provide to help track this one down. Thanks for a great app - this has replaced Google Keep for us (so we got some privacy back, Yay).

I was able to reproduce this issue and provided a fix in #254.

However, I'm not sure if the source for the bug is in the notes app or in the Nextcloud server core. But for now, #254 should be fine. The next app release will contain this fix.

The error message "Missing Signature" comes from here:

https://github.com/nextcloud/server/blob/2e36069e24406455ad3f3998aa25e2a949d1402a/apps/encryption/lib/Crypto/Crypt.php#L561

Do you use the server-side encryption provided by Nextcloud?

Yes sir. Have always had server side encryption on, but this message is new. I am not a coder, so I can't figure out what, if anything, to do to fix this? If it's not a problem then I can leave it alone. Thank you!
