Delete Branch "%!s(<nil>)"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Hello. I hope you are well, today. :)
I updated my account username, Shadowstreik. Though, it does not reflect the change on the Nextcloud dash board.
I waited some time in case a job had to run to carry over the change, but it doesn't appear to have performed the change/update.
Could someone take a look, sometime?
Thank you.
Hi,
I'm really sorry, but I'm not sure I understand what I'm supposed to see on the screencapture... Could you be more precise?
Also, what do you mean by "I updated my account username"? Because it is not possible to change a username...
I went here and updated user name...
It updates the dashboard here...
... yet did not update. I performed this update a day prior for my video and home accounts and those carried over as expected with no issue.
Hi, @Shadowstreik
We run a couple of tests and it worked just fine. Did you logged out and log in again after changing the screen name?
Hi, Fede. I had, immediately afterwards (remembering being told that for Windows at my old work), but it hadn't affected anything. I cleared by browser cache/browsing data and it did not have an affect.
Weird. I just did it and works as expected (login to user.disroor.org, change screen name, logout of nextcloud and log back in). I will check the logs for your specific user in an hour or so.
I have checked the logs but nothing pops up.
Did you try to login to https://user.disroot.org and update screen name to something random, then login/logout to nextcloud. Also check what your: https://cloud.disroot.org/settings/user shows.
I have gone into user.disroot.org, changed the username to something random and it shows; both with first letter capitalized and lower-case. I change it back to Shadowstreik and it does not show. However, if I change it to a lower-case S, it appears with the lower-case S. It should appear with a capitalized S. I checked my home and video account and both usernames have capital letters that do appear. I'm thinking Shadowstreik should, also. I may only be acting picky; I just like things matching. Shoot me. X)
@muppeth I can confirm this behavior:
So it is as if the username couldn't be used as a display_name / screen_name.
Could you repeat the test but instead of changing back to username just change to something else? I wonder if nextcloud has issue with username or if its due to time interval with which it's syncing with ldap.
I can test this. Would there be anything in particular you would like that could be of assistance?
Done: I can confirm that I can set whatever screen name I want, it always work, even if a change a couple of time in a few seconds. Only the username doesn't.
Interesting. nextcloud shouldnt care about it specially that it populates this from SN atributte and not CN or UID. I think we should check this on test instance but for that we need to have both the role and ldap role deployable on test servers.
I will put this on hold for now until we can test.
FYI, it is still not working on v27.
An additional notation for the new version:
The custom background settings reverted back to Default and that is understandable. Upon returning to a custom background, the username value turns to black. Please see the below screen-captures, below, from my 3 accounts exhibiting this. It did remain white for one of them.

concerning the image posting on Forgejo, that is weird coz I can do it.
The image link icon is gone, though I could upload, directly. Perhaps I should just do that, going forward.
see:
So you drop the file, then click on it to get the img link.
I've reworked my custom backgrounds to make them darker. Doing so rectified the issue. It appears NC saw the brightest piece of the graphic and decided to display the welcome note based on that. So, it's tricky, but can be mitigated.
well, I still don't see it myself so we can not consider this as fixed ;) I'm letting this issue opened then.
I'm testing the capitalization issue with the username in the dashboard greeting note. I forgot to after the NC updates to the newer version.
UPDATE: The update didn't fix the capitalization issue.
I've tested again since we did NC migration, the issue is still there.
Let put it for April milestone. There is number of things on nextcloud I need to work on now that migration is complete.
