  Try Mendeley 1.5 preview

  Mendeley 1.5-dev2 fixes this and runs with the system's QT 4.8. :)

  I have a similar issue on Ubuntu 12.04 beta (Precise):

  mendeleydesktop
  Using system Qt version 4.8.0 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
  Running /usr/bin/../../opt/mendeleydesktop/bin/mendeleydesktop
  Could not parse file "/home/tich/.local/share/applications/wfcmgr.desktop": No such file or directory
  QSharedPointer: pointer 0x2b931e0 already has reference counting

  When I use the option --force-bundled-qt mendeley does start but fails to establish the internet connection, making it near useless.

  I hope there'll be a fix for this soon!

  I've been same problem and other problem:

  Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "murrine"

  First, I install the packages
  sudo yum install gtk2-engines gtk-murrine-engine gtk-equinox-engine

  After, adding --force-bundled-qt work for me.

  Thank you

  Please see

  http://feedback.mendeley.com/forums/4941-mendeley-feedback/suggestions/471527-libpng-1-4

  I suggest a duplicate as they both seem to be related to qt4.8 & libpng 1.4

  adding --force-bundled-qt does not work for me:

  $ mendeleydesktop --force-bundled-qt
  Forcing system Qt
  Running /opt/mendeleydesktop/bin/..//lib64/mendeleydesktop/libexec/mendeleydesktop.x86_64 --force-bundled-qt
  QSharedPointer: pointer 0x1526cd0 already has reference counting

  is there another option I can add?

  I've been having the same problem, and adding the --force-bundled-qt to the command-line argument worked for me.

  Thank you.

  It doesn't have KDE scrollbars etc anymore, but at least it works!

  You may want to see: http://blog.codef00.com/2011/12/15/not-so-much-fun-with-qsharedpointer/. I recently fixed an issue with my code using QSharedPointer and it turned out to be a subtle but possibly serious bug.

  Thank so much Robert! That worked!

  There is a known issue with Qt 4.8 on some systems. Use Mendeley Desktop 1.3 with the --force-bundled-qt command-line argument.
