Bug Description
I successfully upgraded this morning from Ubuntu 19.10 to 20.04 using the procedure described at
https:/
I was logged in as administrative user "jm"
It appears that the upgrade process incorrectly modified the owner of the /var/www/Nextcloud and /opt/Nextcloud directories from "www-data" to "User#99"
This caused errors when I tried to access the Nextcloud web app on my server from a browser (Chrome).
I was able to resolve the issue by issuing the following commands:
cd /var/www
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data nextcloud
cd /opt
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data nextcloud
I was then able to access the Nextcloud application with from a browser.
Regards,
Jim Marsen

To clarify: the upgrader modified the owner of the Nextcloud folders and files not the file/directory permissions. It might have altered others that I haven't noticed as well.
