Thanks to these very excellent instructions, my Lenovo Duet now has Zotero running in its Linux environment. I had some issues at first, but installing sudo apt-get install libdbus-glib-1-2 did the trick. Erik
-
Thanks. Great help. I set the permissions to chmod 777 for the entire Zotero library, and the styles were returned to me. I assume that's safe. (This is on my own laptop) Erik
-
Oh, I just had a brain wave -- The problem is probably caused by the way I update Zotero. I do it by logging in as sudo, ignoring the warnings, since this is the simplest way to get the update installed. Then I run Zotero once as sudo after the res…

Hi, great, thanks for getting back. I don't run any kind of security software (I'm on Ubuntu). Could be a permissions issue though, I suppose. What should the permissions be for the Zotero data directory? Erik
-
Hi again, I've been using Zotero for a good 10 years by now, but I'm still learning stuff. Sorry, I've never debugged before. Here is the ID: Submitted with Debug ID D986176797 Erik

Hi, thanks for speedy response. Yes, I keep on losing the styles with every update. It's been like that for the past six months or so. Previously I could always reinstall them, but now that doesn't work. And I can't reset the styles either. This is …
-
Had the same problem. "Reset styles ..." worked. Great!
-
I think I'm sorting it out ... I had Zotero in a different directory. Zotero_master. The database synced to the default. Now I'm simply copying all the directories in "storage" from Zotero_master to the new default directory. Seems to work. I could…
-
Not all files actually, but very many of them ...
-
I understand what you are saying. I am indeed over the storage quota, and for that reasons I haven't synced the PDFs themselves. But that was OK as long as the files were stored locally. Now I can't locate them.
-
Hmm ... The PDFs show up in the database, but when I click on them I get "the attached file could not be found."
-
Thanks for helping me out with this! The database is syncing and it looks up to date, but how can I return all the PDFs that are stored locally? They seem to be in the wrong directories. I suppose I should upgrade my storage. That would make it po…
-
I do use sync, and I can download that for the last version. Problem is that this doesn't include pdfs of all the files. Will the "last automatic backup" look for the files?
-
Thanks. Yeah, that's what happened. I removed the hard disk while keeping Zotero open. Sigh ... I have 19,000 entries -- over 10 years of work. I'll try the manual recovery, although I'm slightly daunted by "Advanced (or adventurous) users can repai…
-
Dear Adam, Thanks. I'll explore further with the Meego people, and I'll try the /usr/bin option and the launcher. Actually the problem would be solved if there was an rpm package of Zotero -- any change of that? Erik
-
hmmm ... maybe the SA mucked things up somehow. I'd better stay away from that until the beta release ...
-
Hi again, I reset Zotero in the end and re-synced from the server. Now everything seems OK. It seems the database indeed was corrupted somehow. Several SQlite editors refused to read it. Two things I can think of: 1) I have a lot of Chinese characte…
-
OK, thanks. I'll look for something. Much obliged.
-
Hi Dan, very helpful, thanks. Can I do this with MySQLadministrator? I'm fairly comfortable with that. I checked the integrity too and there didn't seem to be a problem.
-
Sorry Dan, i am indeed. I've registered another account to try to sort this out. No, no manual changes. The only thing I can think of is that I deleted a couple of group libraries online. After that syncing broke down. I haven't been able to sync fo…
-
No Dan, no dialog about having lost write access. I'm the owner of this group, I should be able to write to it. Here is another debug output: D1613067671. Hope it helps. SA is not involved (I've installed it but I'm not using it now) What's the be…
-
Thanks, Ajlyon, I'll keep that in mind. We should be OK (lets hope).
-
Adam, thanks again. That's very reassuring. None of the material is actually compromising to the students, or truly politically subversive. It's just that you never know what a gov't censor might be up to -- I guess they have their grumpy days at wo…
-
Adam, thanks. I understand. But some material is difficult to share in paper form -- the files are too large or it's a question of YouTube clips. We don't have access to YouTube in our country, but I wanted to share some of my downloads with my stud…
-
That sounds nice and fine and I agree. What my students do with their knowledge is up to them, but I have an obligation to make sure that my course doesn't get them into unnecessary trouble. But I take your point about this being the wrong forum for…
-
Hmmm ... I teach in a country not well known for its defense of free speech. Some of my material is controversial. What to do about Trojans on student computers?
-
Thanks. Apologies if this is more of an Ooo question than a Zotero one. So I still need a plugin on the Ooo side? I dowloaded the Ooo plugin from here: http://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_installation_for_zotero_2.1 , following these…
-
Thanks for getting back. I'm clearly missing something. I thought, since SA comes with Ooo integration I don't need a plugin on the Ooo side? But then how do I get an Ooo footnote to include the Zotero database?
-
This is just to add my voice to the calls for the implementation of this feature. It's the main oversight in an otherwise amazing product.

Hi, Any idea how to do this for Linux? yours always, Erik
