Running keefox in Ubuntu 12.10 #155

Closed chikamichi closed 11 years ago

Hi,

I guess my question is not specific to Ubuntu 12.10, but for the sake of clarity, I'll assume it is. So, I'm running a vanilla Ubuntu 12.10 installation, and I just installed KeePass using the ppa, so that it is running on mono.

I installed KeeFox from Mozilla extensions repository, fetched the KeePassRPC.plgx file and now I am trying to configure the right paths in KeeFox > Options > KeeFox.

I mkdir -p ~/.keepass/plugins and put the plgx here. whereis keepass2 tells it's located at /usr/bin/keepass2.

I thus indicated both path (installation and plugins) in the options. Still, nothing happens when clicking on "Load my password database (Launch KeePass)".

Any insights? Thank you!

you are looking for /usr/lib/keepass2 so, you want to run sudo mkdir /usr/lib/keepass2/plugins and then copy the plgx there.

/usr/bin/keepass2 is just a script that calls mono /usr/lib/keepass2/KeePass/exe

Your paths in options should look like this:

keefox-options

Thank you! I will try this asap.

@dlech it seems to be working smoothly. Thank you.

Just a litte comment: There is no need to create a plugins dir under /usr/lib/keepass2, you can also place the plugin file directly under /usr/lib/keepass2. Also please note that after an update of the KeeFox extension the plugin need to be copied again and KeePass2 needs to be restarted and will detect the changed plugin, doing some stuff.

Regards, Anton
