    You just have to save your keepass database file somewhere on Ubuntu and open it with keepass or better keepassx for linux.

Welcome to Ubuntu!



There are two parts to using KeePass on Ubuntu. First, you need to install the software. Within Ubuntu there are two different options here:



  • KeePass2 (this is going to look very similar to what you used on windows before, and is also going to have full compatibility with your previous encrypted container)


  • KeePassX (this is going to look more like your other Ubuntu applications, and less like a windows program, it will work with your existing encrypted container but may require a conversion step)


Whichever you choose, you need to install it. Here is how to install KeePass2:



1) Press the super button (windows button) on your keyboard



2) Type term and press enter (this will open up a terminal window for you to type commands)



3) sudo apt update



4) sudo apt install keepass2



Now that KeePass has been installed into Ubuntu, you can use it to open up your old container. You need to get that container onto this new install using a USB drive, emailing it to yourself, using a network or cloud storage location, etc. Once the file has been copied onto your new Ubuntu install, just double click on it like normal and KeePass will open it up.



Hope this helps, and once again welcome to Ubuntu!

To open your database with keepassx. Open keepassX, Database --> open database and navigate to the place you have saved your database file. If you used keepass 1, you need to select import database.

How to enroll fingerprints to Ubuntu 17.10 with VFS491

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 1 down vote favorite I decided to switch from Windows to Ubuntu 17.10, I meet it like 8 years ago and I didn't decided to switch until now (haha). Well, my actual device is an HP Probook 4540s with a Validity fingerprint sensor (VFS491). The fingerprint sensor worked fine on Windows but I can't get it to work in Ubuntu. The device is recognized as 138a:003d but is not detected as a fingerprint scanner by some apps like Fingerprint GUI. I want to use the fingerprint scanner to log in into my user account in Ubuntu but it doesn't supports fingerprints without special software and the drivers of the fingerprint scanner are available for Windows but not for any Linux distribution. I found something on GitHub (https://github.com/eekpie/libfprint) about the integration of the VFS491 in libfprint and I think it can help but I don't know what to do with it, so that's why I need the help of the community to do it since I am...
