Not sure if keepass (2.28) is being deprecated since you have keepassx 2.x in the repos, but it doesn't launch. Keepassx2 works exactly as expected. Nice to see keepassx finally get updated to v2, only distro I've seen it on.

Well, you mixed the three separate programs up quite a bit.

Keepass is the original, originated on windows and now implemented as .NET so it can be run via Mono. Mono is the open source equivalent to .NET and is able to run quite a lot of .NET applications under linux.

keepassx is a re-implementation of keepass. It misses quite a lot of features compared to windows, especially regarding autotype configurability. But it works quite well, I'm using it too.
Sad point is that it's not being maintained/updated upstream since several years.
For more information on keepassx, check the FAQ and the quote on their homepage

Originally KeePassX was called KeePass/L for Linux since it was a port of Windows password manager Keepass Password Safe. After KeePass/L became a cross platform application the name was not appropriate anymore and therefore, on 22 March 2006 it has been changed.

keepassx 2.0 is a complete re-write of keepassx, being developed since ~4 years and it will probably be also as feature-rich as the windows version.

Now, for your issue you need to install one package, it seems that keepass tries to access /usr/lib[64]/libgdiplus.so directly instead of the version one /usr/lib[64]/libgdiplus.so.0.0.0.
Simply run as root

Code: Select all: urpmi 'pkgconfig(libgdiplus)'

or run

Code: Select all: ln -s libgdiplus.so.0.0.0 /usr/$(rpm -E %_lib)/libgdiplus.so

FWIW, reported as bug: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15972

No mix up, I know keepass is based on mono, just thought it was only keepassx 1.x that was discontinued, didn't know it was all of it, since I'd never SEEN a distro that had keepassx 2.x before, figured that was still being made therefore. Sucks that it's not, while keepass has quite a few more options than keepassx, keepassx is quite a bit nicer looking since it integrates into the WM whereas I've never found a way to get keepass to do so.

Huh, what do you mean by all of it? keepass still gets updates, bei it keepass classic or professional:

Sorry, don't understand what you're trying to say there. keepassx 2.0 is still in development, and the beta has just been announced recently:
https://www.keepassx.org/news/2015/05/459

Oh, misread your first reply. Re-read, and so I understood everything exactly correct originally. keepassx discontinued, keepassx 2.x still being developed, keepass still active but requires mono (and what most distro's use now). Wish more distro's used keepassx 2.x, just so much better looking than keepass.

Please next time do not use fullquotes, but only use the Reply function. Greatly improves clarity and reading flow

Anyways, as I've already provided the fix to get keepass to run, please mark the thread accordingly by editing the topic of the first post and prefix it by [DONE], thanks
