[dacorsa]

Hi guys,


i'd like to install keepassxc from SNAP, so i have installed snap


sudo apt install snapd
and try
sudo snap install keepassxc

but have always same error:


error: cannot install "keepassxc": Post https://api.snapcraft.io/v2/snaps/refresh: proxyconnect
       tcp: dial tcp :80: connect: connection refused

I don't use PROXY, then if i give:

I have search on internet and find that can be in the journal that the problem was related to squashfs cannot start snapd: cannot mount squashfs image using "squashfs": mount: unknown filesystem type 'squashfs'

Can you help me?

Is there a reason to use snap? Wouldn't be debian packages or appimage better?

[dacorsa]

no but i want to try to install with that..


Thanks

[melmarker]

in that case - please use appimage, debian or flatpak if available. I don't know how the rest of the core team think about, but imho there is no reason to offical support snaps in siduction.

[devil]

I totaly agree. Flatpak and AppImage work fine, no need to drag in Canonicals tools.

and by the way: how does anbox-installer fit in the picture?

Sorry not answering your question, I looked at all the password store options and decided the KISS principal would work best for me and use Pass https://www.passwordstore.org/  with QtPass  GUI which is cross platform https://qtpass.org/  I don't use Windows so haven't tried it but Pass works on Android with Password-store. No need for Flatpak  AppImage or SNAP.

keepassxc

Try arch, there it is up to date (2.4.0)! ;-) Not in sid...Or take a pen and a paper! :-D

But more seriously, If you can't or don't want to wait, you could compile it yourself (Read INSTALL.md in keepassxc-2.4.0-src.tar.xz!).

no need to drag in Canonicals tools.

ACK.
