nextcloud-desktop package in installs this file :
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/com.nextcloudgmbh.Nextcloud.service

that -probably?- means applications can autostart nextcloud-desktop.
eg. thunderbird autostarts it, firefox, pluma(?!), xdg-desktop-portal-gtk..

what if i don't want to start it automatically?
i would understand nextcloud being a hard dependency for an application to work, but eg. pluma?!!!? why?

(is it just me? )

@uhuru it's like depending on nautilus or dolphin. It still makes no sense to me

@getimiskon caja really.
btw, there's an extra caja-nextcloud package, but not installed..
so, why? even if caja is involved, didn't ask for nextcloud integration..
not sure i understand the concept here.. (=tbh, not at all into dbus/polkit stuff... )

@uhuru oh, yes... pluma is the text editor. Totally messed it up. Now it makes even less sense. Next hard depedency: vim or emacs.

to the rescue :
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/D-Bus#Override_dbus_service
not tested yet.

debian wiki on d-bus..., unfortunately, nada. :(

"D-Bus helps coordinate process lifecycle; it makes it simple and reliable to code a "single instance" application or daemon, and to launch applications and daemons on demand when their services are ***needed***. " ???

(so, archwiki workaround works.)

but surprises tonight...
tried but it wont play any file, because....:

"Error getting object manager client: Failed to call StartServiceByName for com.nextcloudgmbh.Nextcloud: Process com.nextcloudgmbh.Nextcloud exited with status 1
"
wtf?!

then ...
the same +
"segmentation fault audacious" !!!!

wtff?!?! 😡

why should these care if i run service or not?

(at least, works.)
