Hi everyone, I’m hoping this can be resolved.
I installed Libreoffice and Zotero through home-manager (which is a nixos module), and individually they work great. However, the Zotero extension I installed in Libreoffice doesn’t seem to work. When I click the button to add a citation, nothing happens.
For clarity, here is the relevant configuration in my configuration.nix:
home.packages = with pkgs; [
...
libreoffice
zotero
...
];
Is there something I should be doing to make this work, or is the problem fundamentally related to how NixOS functions?
I installed it in a non-nix way manually by following the zotero guide for the manual install, which meant to open in libre office tools > extensions > add, and manually add zotero addon from where the zotero is installed, in my case that was /nix/store/540p4fhybprg4hrqq34m1sq4cbj7fpjr-zotero-6.0.35/usr/lib/zotero-bin-6.0.35/extensions/zoteroOpenOfficeIntegration@zotero.org/install/Zotero_OpenOffice_Integration.oxt
to install that require java, so I added jdk to system packages and it seems to work. I am sure it can be automatized, but that is currently above my skill level, put still better than latex → pandoc → word doc
Thanks for this! I tried to follow your steps, thinking that I already had jdk installed, and it of course gave me an error that I was missing Java. So then I installed java, rebooted, and Zotero was already there. So maybe the solution is to already have Java installed? Otherwrise your steps solved the issue. Thank you!
