Once you have ticked the ‘allow executing file as program’, you can just close the dialogue box. It should remember the setting.

Hi there,

I am a new user of ubuntu. I face some problem in installing the program. After downloading, the file is saved as “Zotero-3.0.7_linux-i686.tar.bz2″ in the downloads. I right clicked and in permissions tab I ticked the box “Allow executing file as program”. What should I do next since there is only an option to close the dialogue box. I don’t have an idea.

In case if I double click on the above said folder , I see a folder “Zotero_linux-i686″. Here if I right click I couldn’t see the properties option. Please help me to install the program.

Thanks,
Kamal.

nice. thanks. i had trouble getting zotero standalone to work before i found your writeup, so the first time i ran it was by using sudo. that made my .zotero profile under root, so it wouldn’t load my profile after following your instructions. chown ~/.zotero back to your user fixed the problem. Just FYI for others.

Many thanks. Works like gold. I’ve been dependent on commercial apps. Now open source is the champion of the free world.

No, there is never more than one instance of Zotero running, even when there are several icons in the launcher. It’s not the end of the world if I don’t have it in the launcher, it works fine from the dash, but it’s still intriguing why it doesn’t work correctly…

Not sure what is happening; at a guess it sounds like you have more than one instance of Zotero running. Could you open System monitor and see if that is the case?
