command line - Mendeley Desktop only runs with sudo - Ask Ubuntu


this question has answer here:

i have installed mendeley desktop (https://www.mendeley.com/download-mendeley-desktop/ubuntu/instructions/) in computer. turns out can run program through terminal, sudo mendeleydesktop . if try run dock, or through terminal without sudo, doesn't run. stars briefly (0.5 sec) closes.

when try run in last way, next message shown in terminal:

/usr/bin/../../opt/mendeleydesktop/bin/install-mendeley-link-handler.sh: 56: /usr/bin/../../opt/mendeleydesktop/bin/install-mendeley-link-handler.sh: cannot create /home/jorge/.local/share/applications//mendeleydesktop.desktop: permission denied qiodevice::settextmodeenabled (qfile, "/home/jorge/.local/share/data/mendeley ltd./mendeley desktop/log-2016-11-01.txt"): device not open qiodevice::write (qfile, "/home/jorge/.local/share/data/mendeley ltd./mendeley desktop/log-2016-11-01.txt"): device not open qsslsocket: cannot resolve sslv2_client_method qsslsocket: cannot resolve sslv2_server_method error in finalize query "attempt write readonly database" : "begin exclusive" qt webengine plugins directory not found. trying fallback directory... plugins example video codecs may not work. error in finalize query "attempt write readonly database" : "begin exclusive" error in open database "unable open database file" : "/home/jorge/.local/share/data/mendeley ltd./mendeley desktop/www.mendeley.com/jbecerratg@alumnos.unex.es-5120/search-index.sqlite" failed open search index error in prepare query "unable open database file" : "select value updatetokens key = :key" error in bind value "no statement prepared" error in execute query "query not prepared" error in step query "query not active" qobject::disconnect: unexpected null parameter

it extremely helpful if tell me how fix this. run program clicking in icon.

thanks in advance.

i not think possible. program must have superuser privileges. because of way program designed must use sudo run it.

the documentation incorrect on version 16.x of ubuntu , software updated suit needs.

edit: belive last line of code saying:

qobject::disconnect: unexpected null parameter

is password being null (or not present)
