There may simply be a missing dep, which is possible as there could be something that normally is installed in Ubuntu but not in Kubuntu that is not included in the dependency list.

Update: I’m now using KeePassX which is a native port of KeePass for Linux and Mac OS.What happens trying to run it from the terminal (command is keepass2)?Īll these keepass variants are not physically packaged by Ubuntu at all, they are in the Universe component, which mostly consists of packages automatically imported from Debian, as well as some community maintained things. From now on, Ubuntu will update it automatically. Then update the repository directory and install KeePass2: sudo apt-get updateįinally, open KeePass, click on on Help -> Check for updates and KeePass2 will update to the latest stable version. If you don’t know the codename of the Linux version find it out with: lsb_release -a Where precise is the codename of the Ubuntu version (here 12.04 Precise Pangolin). For example, in Ubuntu: sudo add-apt-repository 'deb precise main' So here is the procedure to overcome this problem.įirst, add the KeePass repository. I’m currently using KeePass2 ( update: I now use KeePassX) However, I noticed that if you install KeePass via the Ubuntu Software Center you won’t necessarily install the latest version and you won’t get the latest updates automatically. Considering the amount of passwords one has to remember these days, there is a bad tendency to use weak memorable passwords – or even worse always the same password! KeePass is good choice since it is cross-platform, uses strong encryption algorithms, and can store data offline. All you need to do is to remember one single (strong) password to open the software and that’s it. It is a password manager which allows to store secure passwords and forget about them.
