Hi,
I'm a newbie to the Arch branch of linux after a friend suggested I try Manjaro and compare it the Debian branch I was using. Love it!
I recently updated and find that Mendeley desktop would no longer load. I tried reinstalling, even trying an earlier build (1.19.4) but no luck. In frustration I tried something which worked. I downloaded the tarball above (either), unzipped it and ran ./bin/mendeleydesktop from the extracted folder. It installed and works fine since. Hope I don't break the system down the road by doing this.
Any insight into why this bypass of pacman works and if it will update automatically in the future?
Thanks

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-bundled
which packages Qt provided by the upstream.
