Legacy Nextcloud server test

--- rebooted

working as expected

MGA9-64 Plasma,i5-7500, nvidia Quadro K620 graphics (nvidia-current).

No installation issues, and so far, no issues with operation.

CC: (none) => andrewsfarm

MGA9-64, Ryzen 2600, etc.

Seems to be installing with any testing patches and working as expected.

Built the nvidia-current module for the kernel currently under test with no issues.

Seems to be OK on both arches. Validating.

Whiteboard: (none) => MGA9-32-OK MGA9-64-OK
Keywords: (none) => validated_update
CC: (none) => sysadmin-bugs

Quickly adding that it works OK also on my T43, i586 together with kernel 6.6.103, and x86_64 on two additional systems.

An update for this issue has been pushed to the Mageia Updates repository.
