Mendeley can't find "Qt WebEngine Plugins" (desktop app for linux)

I recently upgraded my linux (debian). Since then I Mendeley is not working: it starts and after a couple of seconds starts fetching and crashes immediately.

This is the error message that it is giving:

Qt WebEngine Plugins directory not found. Trying fallback directory... Plugins as for example video codecs MAY NOT work.

I tried to uninstall mendeleydesktop and install it again, but still the same problem. Any suggestions?

Solution

  • Had the same problem on Fedora 25 and Mendeley 1.17 Reverted back to Mendeley 1.16.3 and it works again.
