Comment on Installing Zotero standalone on Ubuntu 11.10 by Moritz

Thanks a lot for this thorough guide! It works perfect for me except for one thing:

When I start Zotero, keep it in the panel, then start it through a click on the icon in the panel, I end up with two icons in the panel. When I do this again, I have three icons in the panel, and so on.

Does anyone maybe have an idea what is going wrong?

Thanks for this — very helpful!
I noticed as well that I didn’t need to make the “Zotero_linux” directory executable as a program (in step 2), but I did make “/Zotero_linux-x86_64/zotero” executable in that way (or it was already set up that way, I installed a while back). Everything else worked perfectly. Thanks.

Hi Jake,
Just open Gedit, the default text editor on Ubuntu, copy and paste the highlighted text into it, and then save it with the name ‘zotero.desktop’

I am new to Ubuntu and having a spot of bother with step 4. Do you have to create the document ‘zotero.desktop’? If so then I understand you have to paste the text in once created but I don’t know how to create it in the first place.

Thanks for the simple guide, much appreciated. Good to know how easy it is to create those .desktop files.

This is great–thanks for the help.
FWIW, I ran into a problem with Step 2, as I was unable to “tick the ‘Program’ box to allow it to run as a program.” The box just wouldn’t tick. I did some searching and it seems like in some similar cases it worked to move the folder to the desktop first. Didn’t help me, no matter where I put it. I was able to go into the folder and change zotero.jar (I think) and it ran fine after that (though I haven’t done much with it except play with duplicates!)
