2-Factor Authentication App doesn't show QR code (Solution)

Hello,
I’m posting in the hope that someone with a similar issue reads this and finds it useful:

PROBLEM:
After installing the TOTP Second-factor Auth App from the ownCloud Market, and ticking the box at Security > Activate TOTP, nothing happens - no QR code or anything shows up.

SOLUTION:
The app requires the imagick extension to work. Without it, you can’t see the QR code you are supposed to scan.

To install imagick on Ubuntu / Debian / Raspberry Pi OS:
Follow the instructions at linux capable or copy/paste (at your own risk):

Install:
sudo apt install php-imagick

Verify installation:
php -m | grep imagick

Expected output:
imagick

Have a nice day! :grinning:
