Browser log

Browser log is not relevant, I access via caldav

Possible solution:
is it possible to check if the posix funciton posix_getuid (and others) is installed, and do a workaround if not?
Even in the cli tool the error exist. I mean this seems to be an optional check. and on many shared hosters the php posix plugin is not installed but nextcloud runs perfectly.
