Zotero standalone does not start in Debian
The software crashes at the beginning and the following alert appears:
There was an error starting Zotero.
Zotero.IPC</this.broadcast@chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/ipc.js:246:9
_initDB<@chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/zotero.js:891:4
The machine runs a Debian 4.16.12-1 64 bit, Buster release and zotero is update at the last version.
Any ideas?

It is a pity, as I am also a paying user...

(It’s not a question of ignoring you or you paying for storage or not, there are just very few people who can help with Debian setups, and it’s possible they missed your message.)
For this case of Zotero, I tried several things with no success, and the thing that I am paying for the storage is not to say that they should give me special attention, but just that maybe that it is worthless for me to pay for something that I cannot use.

And the one in the Debian repository is 4.0.29.16+dfsg-1. Maybe this has something to do with it?

I'll tell you what is exactly my problem and how can I manage it:
I have three partitions in my PC: one with Windows 10, one with Ubuntu and one "extFAT" for sharing between them (because I have Zotero in windows and ubuntu with the same file archive). It works fine but sometimes the last partition doesn't auto-initialize well and Ubuntu can read but can't write. In this case, when I open Zotero it brings me the error.
The only thing I can do when this problem occurs is to initialize manually the partitions.
Maybe you have a similar problem.
