Mendeley Desktop is already running but may not be responding on Ubuntu 22.04

Question

I installed Mendeley v1.19.8 on Ubuntu 22.04 via the installer here, but sometimes when I try to open it, there is an error that said:

Mendeley Desktop is already running but may not be responding. Click the Mendeley icon in the taskbar or dock to activate it.

How could I fix it?

Answer 1

My solutions:

1. Find and kill all Mendeley processes

pkill -f mende

2. Start it again

./bin/mendeleydesktop
