    I was a similar problem on Ubuntu 10.04. I realised that I had icedtea plugins installed. I solved it by write in a terminal "sudo apt-get remove icedtea6-plugin". I hope this helps. Thank you

    Thank you for the advice. Icedtea6 was installed on my computer and I removed it...But it still doesn't work... :(

    thibaud, thank you, your solution worked for me. I had URO: /usr/share/java/openoffice but this seems to access the built in java for OO, instead of the Sun Java (now Oracle).

    I've never had a problem with zotero auto detecting the paths, that's really interesting, until using Lucid

    I am running ubuntu 10.04 64 bit. When I had this problem before I fixed it by removing all Icedtea plugins. This time this was not enough. After uninstalling all other java plugins I had to install "Sun Java 6.0 Plug-in" from the repository. I don't know how and why but zotero is working now. Hope this helps!

    All Linux guys- I had similar problems. It turns out I had to quit FF to kill a failed reinstall of the Open Office addon. You may see something like when you do ps:
    21598 20906 0 21:30 pts/0 00:00:00 [unopkg] <defunct>

    Quit FF, reinstall OO components with the correct paths and you should be fine...
