D1992887254 - Lookup Failed

Dear all,

I have tried to find a solution in forums, with no success.

My Zotero is up-to-date, as well my OS Linux Mint.

For a while (some months), in my lectures about Zotero, when I tried to show the "Add item by identifier" button, the follow message is given back:

"Lookup Failed
Zotero could not find a record for the specified identifier.
Please verify the identifier and try again"

Then I debug it and find the follow file problem, with no reading access for everyone:

sudo chmod +r ~/Zotero/translators/DataCite.js

I am not sure if it was an Zotero Update o Mint update, but after I give access to everyone read the file.

No more warming message was given back, but it still not working, and I debug it again, and submit it under D1795468218 number.

Then I give all .js file acces to everyone read them.

sudo chmod +r ~/Zotero/translators/*.js

And now, it is working.

  • While it won't hurt to give access to everyone to read the translators, your user should have the rights to read and write all files and folders under ~/Zotero for Zotero to work properly. A Zotero update certainly couldn't have changed that, so that's down to whatever changed in your system.
