Problem with LibreOffice Integration on Ubuntu Linux

pod-o-mart · September 15, 2017

Hi everyone,

I have a problem to get the Zotero Standalone to work on both of my Linux Ubuntu 16.04 machines. Maybe somebody has a solution?

Zotero Standalone and the Firefox Connector work without any problems. It is just that LibreOffice always crashes, as soon I try to use the LibreOffice Integration. One click to add a citation or to change the document settings and - crash.
I have installed following versions:
Zotero 5.0.18
Zotero Connector 5.0.19
Firefox 55.0.2
Libreoffice 5.4.1.2
Zotero LibreOffice Integration 5.0.6

Could somebody help me with this problem?

Thank you
Martin

Crash as in close down completely, right? Or does it freeze?

LibreOffice just closes down without any comment.

If you are running a 32-bit version of Ubuntu see this comment for solutions (and the full thread for context) https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/281808/#Comment_281808

Great! That was the solution. I've permanently added the kernel parameter stack_guard_gap=1 to /etc/default/grub and now it works without any problems.
Thank you!
