Questions[mendeley](ubuntu)

i want to use Mendeley and MS word 2013 in PlayOnLinux , Is that possible? I installed mendeley in the same virtual drive of MS office, so i manage to install the mendeley plugin for word however it didn't work so far, they refers an error 429. Thank you very much for your help!! Mendeley is a software for reference citations.

I had Mendeley desktop on Ubuntu 18.04 and previous versions. It runned perfectly. Now I have the 20.04.1 Ubuntu version and I'm not able to install it. After downloading it from the Mendeley page and trying to install it appears a message: There is a missing file.

Thankyou for your help.

I'm running ubuntu 19.04 via WSL on Windows 10. I have installed Mendeley Desktop on ubuntu but when I run the command sudo mendeleydesktop on my terminal I get the following error:

QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root'
QFSFileEngine::open: No file name specified
shared memfd open() failed: Function not implemented

Does anyone know how to get around this issue?

I am using LibreOffice 6.1.4.2 with Mendeley 1.19.3 on Ubuntu 18.10.

This is quite bothering me that when I cite a reference from Mendely, the citation just freezes and the {Formatting Citation} just can turn to your citation, nor does the inserted biobliography update with new reference. Here are more details for this bug:

1. No problem at all with a new .odt file.
2. Since there are no problems with the new file, I copy/paste everything to a new file so I can continue to add citation based on the previous ones, everything is OK, but after adding around 20 citations, the new one gets frozen again. Which means I need to paste the new file to a "new new" file (if I really need to).

I found some similar problems for other people on other websites but it seems there is no such a satisfactory anwser. So I hope some one can give me a hand.

I just updated to the latest LibreOffice (6.0.4.2) but I changed from the traditionally installed version to the snap version of LibreOffice.

Now, when I run Mendeley (1.19) I no longer see the option to install the LibreOffice plugin.

Could this be a problem with snaps being different from regular installs? Most importantly, is there anyway to get the plugin to work?

I prefer to use snaps so they are always up to date but if I cannot work as I used to, then I'll just go back to the old style of installing apps.
