Hej there, I installed the latest version of Mendeley Desktop, but it simply doesn't launch. On the Mendeley HP (https://www.mendeley.com/download-desktop/) I chose the 32bit-version on the right (Download for Ubuntu and Kubuntu 16.04 LTS, 17.04 and Debian Stretch). I'm not very Ubuntu-wise and hopefully I can get some support this way. :)

    You probably installed the 64-bit version of Ubuntu -- have you tried the 64-bit Mendeley? – Zeiss Ikon Aug 22 '18 at 14:26
  • No, I'm quite sure I have installed 32-bit version. In this moment I'm trying to install the left 32bit-version on the HP mentioned above, but this is a tar.bz2 folder and I don't know how to "install" it. :( – Bofrost Aug 22 '18 at 14:39

Ubuntu 18.04 does not work with 32 bit anymore. So you have the 64 bit version and you need to chose the 64 bit-version of mendeley

If you managed to install the program and it does not start, use

sudo mendeleydesktop

instead of

mendeleydesktop

I have the same issue, and it seems something is not right about the user permissions.
