Zotero fails to add a reference in LibreOffice

gombin · May 19, 2014

Hi,

I don't know if that's related to Zotero's 4.0.20 update, but today I encountered error I never had before. When I try to add new citations to a LibreOffice Writer document, for some of them I get an error regarding difficulties to communicate between, if I get that well, LO and Zotero.

The Report ID is 1596072531.

Thanks in advance for your help!

How about in a new document, same error? And what's the exact message you're getting in the original language if other than English?
Finally, have you tried restarting your computer, especially (but not only) if you're using Windows?

Indeed, it works fine in a new document. It also worked in my original document when I removed previous field codes.
The original language was in English and quite long and technical-looking (javascript IO error, that kind of thing).

I had indeed tried to restart my computer, didn't help. And I'm using Ubuntu 14.04, Zotero 4.0.20, LibreOffice 4.2.3.3.

@Dan - could you look at the error?

@gombin: regardless of that, you're probably not going to get around running through these:
