Mendeley desktop does not open in Fedora 31

Question

I am trying to run Mendeley desktop and, technically, the only thing that I should do is download the distribution for generic linux and run ./bin/mendeleydesktop

However, when I do that, the application never lauches. I tried running it with the verbose option to get more details, and I can't see any errors.

./mendeleydesktop --log-to-stderr --verbose-log

Any insights?

Answer 1

It seems that there is now an official distribution at: http://koji.rpmfusion.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=12107

This package builds and opens properly
