Arch Linux User Repository

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.

Same issues here, gnome 3; had to revert to the older 1.16.3 version

@Rategh, same Problem here. In addition my Cinnamon Session is crashing when starting mendeleydesktop (MD) since the last update. Only after closing MD, Cinnamon becomes responsive again and is restarting. It crashes each time I open MD. Downgrading Cinnamon to 3.6.0.1 helped for now.

Hi I'm unable to start mendeleydesktop. The same problem with the core dump and Qt warnings when i uncommente two line about qt in PKGBUILD mendeleydesktop start without crash but i cant login or sync because of internet connection error! any idea?

I was also having trouble opening the PDFs externally, which is due to competing Qt libraries. I managed to open the file externally (with Okular), by opening mendeley with LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" mendeleydesktop In the menu launcher, I change it the command to: sh -c 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" /home/angelv/.local/share/mendeleydesktop %f' and all is good now.

solve two problems: Can not use fcitx input method(but ibus works well) Can not open pdf file externally Ref: http://yinflying.top/2017/09/727

It still works here, but since the last update, Cinnamon crashes every time I launch Mendeley Desktop. Anyone know what's going on? Edit: issue not present anymore as of 2017-10-09.

Maybe, but i really dont know what to do :( I will keep trying here. If something change i will post here! :)

Runs fine here. Maybe a problem with python environment?

Here, mendeley don't run. When i try to run in terminal this error messenge appear: File "/usr/bin/mendeleydesktop", line 3 from __future__ import print_function SyntaxError: future feature print_function is not defined
