How to use KeePass in Slacko 5.7?

[Winchman]

Is there any EASY way to get Keepass in Slacko Puppy 5.7 so I can open my .kdb database?

I did some searching, but I didn't see anything recent that looked promising. All the older stuff seemed to involve downloading some other stuff to get KP to work.

There's a software manager in Linux Mint that installs KP with just a couple clicks, but I don't see anything like that in Puppy or any quick way to get KP. Am I just not looking in the right place?

If you are using a ubuntu based puppy like precise, or even wheezy, or upup, then keepass2 is in the PPM Puppy Package Manager. Also you could install wine and run the windows version, another optio is to run it using mono.

latest wine here;

keepass2 here:

ok

Should have said Slacko Puppy 5.7.

You did say slacko 5.7.1 I skimmed it!!

You might still be able to use the ppm. And maybe install the .deb package from ubuntu, sometimes works. But installing o wine will definetely work ...I think!!

KeepassX might be worth a try if data is in kdb form, (but not kdbx).

Can I open KeePass 2.x password databases with KeePassX?Top

No, KeePassX does not support the KeePass 2.x (.kdbx) password database format currently. However, you can create an export in KeePass 1.x database format (.kdb) from KeePass 2.x, which KeePassX can read (and use as the native password database).

After reading through all those posts in the link muggins provided, I'm totally confused about what I actually need.

Please post a short version of how to install it with the appropriate links.

Looks like KeePassX (0.4.3) should work with your KeePass database file. Installing the two .pets in the first post of the thread muggins suggested might work for you.

If you want to try it without installing anything, there's a portable version of it here that runs for me in GuyDog (I think all the dependencies are built in, so it should run for you--it's big, though, almost 10MB):
http://sourceforge.net/projects/portable/files/KeePassX 0.4.3/download

Just download the file and give it execute permissions. I forget how this is done in Rox, maybe right click and choose Properties or Permissions, then check Execute. I think then a click on the file should run it.

Muggins,

Just FYI - getting a "error occurred" message when I attempted to download your keepassx pet in the referred post. Never had trouble with it before. Wonder if the forum still allows direct downloads of files? Didn't that change a year or so ago?

Also, keepassx is in the slacko repositories. However, it still seems to need the QT libraries to run. Now...Barry K did repackage QT into a smaller file available here:

Winchman,

Normal procedure is to follow the first post in that thread. Two steps required: First, install the qt4-4.3.3.pet. That will take care of some dependencies that Keepassx needs to run. Then download and install the keepassx-0.4.3.pet in the post. That will install keepassx and put menu entries in for you. However, I'd give muggins a bit to look into the download error on the .pet. Some things have changed in the forum over the years, and it is possible he'll have to look into reloading/changing link.

Yes, I forgot that there was a change in the size of files that can be hosted on murga-linux.com.

However, if Winchman downloads & installs qt4-4.3.2.pet, there is a slacko version of keepassx available here.

[Winchman]

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

Winchman, I gather you got things working, per your other thread (at http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 547#779547)...?

It's best not to leave people hanging when you move on to the next issue -- if you explain yourself, someday when someone comes across a similar problem, they know how *you* fixed it -- it may help them. Even if it doesn't solve their issues entirely, it gets them one step closer.

If that other thread's issues have been resolved, it'd be very good if you'd leave a post there with how you resolved it as well as editing the first post so that the title contains the marking [SOLVED]. (It's important to do both of those things.)

Great stuff dude. Works instantly on Puppy Arcade 5.9.3. It runs without changing execute permissions, so it's just downloading and click and instantly there's Keepassx GUI in your face. It isn't in PA5.9's PPM by the way.
