Zotero Standalone Libreoffice integration Linux

edgarkls
Again a problem with the LibreOffice integration. The plugin installs fine into libreoffice, the chosen java- environment is oracle's jre1.6.0_23. Still, as soon as I click one of the zotero-icons in libre-office I receive a message that the appropriate firefox-addon is not installed.

The Report-ID is 1382059310

    Does integration work in Firefox?
  • edgarkls
    I will check.
  • edgarkls
    Nope, integration does not work in firefox, either.

    The error report indicates a Java-related issue, but not the typical IcedTea problem (actually, it looks like maybe Java plug-in isn't loaded at all). Some ideas:

    1) Are you on a x86_64 system (does "uname -p" show x86_64)? If so, you should install the x86_64 version of Zotero Standalone. The i686 version won't be able to load x86_64 Java.

    2) Does Java work in Firefox (e.g. at http://javatester.org/version.html)? If so, can you provide an error report from there?

    I am on a i686 system. Java works fine in Firefox, the testsite shows the most recent version installed. My libreoffice-installation is in a slightly unusual place (/opt/LibreOffice/...) I have adjusted the paths accordingly, and Firefox claimed to have installed the OpenOffice plugin correctly.
  • edgarkls
    Well.... I have completely removed Zotero and then re-installed it, checked the LibreOffice-paths and the Java-installation, and still:

    ReportID 944393329

    Same with the Firefox-Version. I am bit out of my depth here, it seems

    Can you generate a report ID from Firefox? The report from Standalone still indicates that Java is not being loaded at all.

    It looks like the Firefox and Standalone errors are different, although they could be related. Start by upgrading to Firefox 4.0b10; integration is known not to work with Firefox 4.0b9. If integration still doesn't work, try launching Firefox from the command line and let us know whether it spits out a Java-related error message appears when you try to add a citation. (Your error report indicates only a generic error being thrown by the Java plug-in.)
