Uninstall 1.5 / Ubuntu Linux

oxburgh · December 8, 2008

I installed 1.5 on a Ubuntu 8.04/Firefox 3.04 machine, and it works OK but I can't sync and I need to take a break in the experimenting to do some work on with my 1.0 library. Although I can uninstall 1.5 and install 1.0 latest version, Firefox will not let me open Zotero, giving me the following error message:

Zotero user data DB version is newer than SQL file

(the Zotero icon also has a warning triangle over it which can't be good)

I don't need to keep the contents of the 1.5 DB, so how do I locate the DB file on Ubuntu to get rid of it?

Thanks for any help

oxburgh, I would think that the best thing for you to do is reinstall 1.5, export the whole library to zotero rdf, including notes and files, set up your new 1.0 and import the library. It seems complicated but there you go.

You probably know this, but if you plan on moving to and fro between versions, you might want to set up a second profile for firefox and experiment with 1.5 there.
