Zotero 7 and LibreOffice integration trouble

jlepawsky

Hello,

I'm having issues getting Zotero to install the LibreOffice add-on.

I'm using Zotero 7 and Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS with Version: 24.8.3.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: e14c9fdd1f585efcbb2c5363087a99d20928d522
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.8; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-CA (en_CA.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

In Zotero I follow the prompts for LibreOffice plugin installation, but receive errors and the installation process just seems to hang. I'm not very technical, so I've tried to show my steps with the screenshots here.

My sincere thanks. Zotero is amazing and has been core part of my writing for 14 years!

We recommend removing any current installations of LibreOffice and installing it either via the apt repository or by downloading it directly from the LibreOffice website. Then the automatic installer should just work. Let us know if you still have problems after that.

(Also, Zotero seems to be installed via snap, which might interfere with the integration)

@jlepawsky: Yeah, to be clear, we can't provide any support for third-party packages of Zotero. We can only provide support for the official tarball from this site and zotero-deb.
