Trying to solve the problem where the Zotero plugin doesn't work properly in the Linux LibreOffice Writer:

Guide:

1. Uninstall Zotero

2. Make sure you have a Java Runtime Environment installed. In LibreOffice, go to Tools>Options>Advanced. Make sure you have the "Use Java runtime environment" box checked, and if there is a JRE installed. If there isn't one, open terminal and install the latest JRE:

sudo apt install openjdk-8-jre

3. Check if your installation worked. Run:

Output:
