Thanks Dan- that worked.
-
Right- I don't have any intention to keep running Firefox, just testing all of the permutations. I can see now that it makes sense to require them to use the same database.
-
I've installed Zotero stand alone and the Chrome connector under 10.04 LTS with no difficulty. I have Zotero stand alone using a data directory in a sensible place on my system, not in the Firefox profile. It all seems to work fine so far. …
-
Thanks for the lightning fast response! To clarify, the problem that I figured out with attempting to store the Zotero database somewhere other than in the Firefox profile was that Ubuntu 10.04 uses SELinux, and has a rule in its configurati…

Thanks for diagnosing the problem and providing a workaround!

I've sent the .pdf file to support@zot...org.
-
I went back and reran it with pdftotext -enc UTF-8 -nopgbrk -l 500 bai2.pdf .zotero-ft-cache and a .zotero-ft-cache file was created. When I then attempted to retrieve metadata, I still got "could not read text from item"
-
I ran the pdftotext with pdftotext -enc UTF-8 -nopgbrk -l 500 bai2.pdf which I believe is exactly how it was run according to the debug output... Yes, conventional PDF's with embedded text work just fine.
-
the .zotero-ft-cache file was not created. When I run the pdftotext command from the command line, it produces a bai2.txt with lots of output that looks like the text of the paper. I also ran pdfinfo on the bai2.pdf file, and got: …

The debug ID is: D1659682574 the seemingly relevant part of the output is: (3)(+0000001): Running pdfinfo "/home/brian/.mozilla/firefox/e6xak270.default/zotero/storage/NKESJDPQ/bai2.pdf" "/home/brian/.mozilla/firefox/e6xak270.default/zote…

pdftotext on the OCR'd version of the PDF file produces a .txt file containing the text of the paper (not quite perfect, but adequate for indexing. I assume that there's something wrong with the way in which gscan2pdf has done this, but it's not c…
-
I've tried indexing some scanned .pdf's of papers after OCR'ing with gscan2pdf and been disappointed with the results. Although I can search for text within such a document using (e.g.) Acrobat reader and typically find it, Zotero doesn't seem to …
-
Dan- I agree that it's probably something like that, but I don't believe that Ubuntu 10.04 uses SELinux by default (and I haven't added anything or made any changes to file permissions or done anything else that I can think of that might have caused…
-
I've played around with this a bit more and discovered that the problem seems to be related to the fact that I had configured my system to store the Zotoro data in a separate directory rather than inside my firefox profile. If I switch from the dir…

I tried removing the zotero.sqlite-journal file and restarting firefox, but I'm still getting the same error.
-
No, the Zotero data is on a local ext3 file system. Yes, there's a zotero.sqlite-journal file in the directory where I've told Zotero to store its files. Checking the date on this, it appears that Zotero was in the middle of updating the datab…

I was locked out today (after retrieving metadata from about 12 .pdf files) and not offered the captcha to prove that I'm a human. A message on Google's help forum gave me the key- I started up another browser (Google Chrome) and accessed sch…

Just to be clear, this particular reference is a journal article, from a special issue of a journal devoted to papers that came from a particular conference. It should be cited as a journal article, so the publisher wouldn't normally be included.

It would be nice if Zotero could scrape results from http://scitopia.org/
