It is not installing in Linux Mint

dahora
I am using a Dell Latitude with Linux Mint Rafaela.

I had change my Hard Disk because of a problem, and after OS installed and all working, I tryed to install Zotero by the regular way (download the files and user run-zotero.sh), but didn't work regular. It onlt works when I run the starter scritp as superuser.

I have tried #apt-get install zotero-standalone, but happens the same.

I change some permitions in the folder, but nothing worked well.

I have tried it as a Firefox extension, but didnt work as well.

I have no more ideas to solve the problems. It use to works normally before I had changed the HD.

    After that, a dialog box shows when I try to start Zotero, saying a error occured.

    it's a file permission issue -- likely because you're installing into opt/zotero but don't have write permission there.
  • dahora
    I changed the permission to rwx for all actors.

    Still not working

    ls -la:

    Did you check the permissions of the data directory and everything in it as well as the installation directory and everything in in that? If you've run as a superuser, that could've created files that your regular account can't access. Also note your different posts show different locations.

    find /home/ -uid 0

    Then also check under both /opt/zotero and /usr/bin/zotero and /usr/bin/X11/zotero for good measure.

    Dear noksagt,

    There were a lot of files in ~/.zotero belonging to root.

    sudo chown -R me.me ~/.zotero solved.

    Thank you.
