@dvalcarce I removed (by renaming) the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2-jdk10.so file, this fixed the issue for me.
I also do not have mozilla programs installed, so maybe Mendeley generates this ".so" file?

<hr>I tried Oracle JDK 8 and OpenJDK 8. I don't have any other Java version installed. The only mozilla plugin I have is /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2-jdk8.so. I also have the latest version of qt5-webkit (5.212.0alpha2-12) and qt5-webengine (5.10.1-1). Any idea?

I get this warning when running: Installed Qt WebEngine locales directory not found at location /opt/mendeley/desktop/Qt/5.5.1/5.5/gcc_64/translations/qtwebengine_locales. Trying application directory...
/opt/mendeley doesn't exist, and this package is installed in /opt/mendeleydesktop

Is it possible to go back to not using the bundled qt? The stock doesn't take the right theme settings and it just looks awful

Mendeley crashes (freezes) every time when I try to start it under XFCE. extra/qt5-webkit is installed.

is not a mendeley problem, see this thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=221588 Summarizing, you need to delete/rename this Mozilla library /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2-jdk9.so Example: sudo mv /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2-jre9.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2-jre9.so.bak

Needed to install the qt-webkit to get running. Why isnt this a dependancy?

@cerberus, thanks for pointing out your solution! I didn't want to remove the libnpjp2 library to avoid the risk of crashing some mozilla plugin, so I read a bit through the linked discussions and found this discussion about Zeal, which is also affected: https://github.com/zealdocs/zeal/issues/802 They assume that Oracle JDK causes the crash (this would also explain, why only some users are affected). So I switched to OpenJDK and it works just fine for me now!

Hey, for anyone having Qt problems check out cereal.kkiller's solution (#18) from the question linked below:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=221588
For your conveinience I quote this answer below:

"Hi guys , try this :
"Apparently some Mozilla plugin caused Mendeley to try to use Java 10 instead of 8. I simply deleted the file /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2-jdk10.so and it's working again"
credit goes to @ahura (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1750410)
My machine had in the aforementioned folder a "libnpj2-jre9" so the command would be> sudo rm /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2-jre9.so
peace !"
I had this issue under version 1.17.10, downgrading didn't help but simple: rm /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2-jdk9.so did the job :) I am leaving firefox for qutebrowser anyway so I don't care much about fox's plugins functionality (partly because of issues like this one). Enjoy your mendeley working again ^^

Is it only me getting these crashes at start up?

It happens under plasma as well as gnome. And also from a newly created local account (i.e. no traces of mendeley in $HOME)

I will maintain this until it stops working, but this package should be considered "legacy" and the new Reference Manager (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mendeley-reference-manager) preferred.

To avoid crashs when opening PDF's, and hangout on exit install
mendeleydesktop-bundledwhich packages Qt provided by the upstream.
