Help : can not launch Zotero on Linux

sepron
Hello everyone,

I'm writing my PhD dissertation and have to present it a three months, so it's the final line.

Because Zotero was not connecting well with my LibreOffice and Firefox (Java environment was not working well), I have reinstalled Zotero and the Connectors. It worked once. But since then, I don't know how to launch Zotero. I have not managed to install the shortcut in my toolbar, I don't find the right program lines to launch it from the Terminal (I am not a coder !), and when I click on the "launch" item in the software's file, nothing happens. I have asked the university library's informatics desk, but they don't know...

Can someone help me to find back the use of Zotero ?

I'm on Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon 6.4.8.

Thanks a lot !

    For Linux, we can't really help beyond what it says here:

    https://www.zotero.org/support/installation#linux

    Linux systems are too heterogeneous, and we have to assume that people running Linux are able to troubleshoot problems themselves.

    Which type of installation are you using? Flatpak, tarball or deb package? Which version of it are you running? (Not a dev, just a linux user)

    Though for Linux Mint, you can and should just install the .deb package as described in the installation instructions.
