Linux on Desktop: Organize your documents and Research papers with Mendeley

  • Installing Mendeley on Ubuntu

    Its not very difficult to install Mendeley Desktop on the Ubuntu platform , as Mendeley team was generous enough to provide repository for the Ubuntu desktop.However, you would have to first register at their website (http://www.mendeley.com) , to take full advantage of Mendeley Web.

    To install Mendeley Desktop follow these steps :

    1. Open the terminal window and issue the following command to add the Mendeley repositories.
    echo "deb http://www.mendeley.com/repositories/xUbuntu_9.04 /" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
    and , we update the repository information on the local system, by issuing the following command :
    sudo apt-get update
    If you are running a earlier version if Ubuntu , I would recommend you look at this page and find the right repository.

    2. Once you have added the repository , issue the following command to install the mendeley desktop :

    sudo apt-get install mendeleydesktop
    Once you are done installing Mendeley desktop , you can launch Mendeley from ( Applications -> Education -> Mendeley Desktop ).

Linux tips every geek should know | TuxRadar

    • #24: Unmount busy drives


      • Difficulty: Easy
      • Application: bash

      You are probably all too familiar with the situation - you are trying to unmount a drive, but keep getting told by your system that it's busy. But what application is tying it up? A quick one-liner will tell you:


      lsof +D /mnt/windows

      This will return the command and process ID of any tasks currently accessing the /mnt/windows directory. You can then locate them, or use the kill command to finish them off.
