I am running KeePass2 under Debian and Xfce (via mono), which basically works fine. I know there is KeePassX for Linux, but I would rather stick to KeePass2. The only bug (?) I have found so far is that no system tray icon is shown.

Is there any way to fix this in Xfce?

You can install a plugin for KeePass2 to make it run with the indicator icon. First you need to add this PPA:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:dlech/keepass2-plugins

Then you need to update with the new PPA:

sudo apt-get update

And finally install the plugin:

sudo apt-get install keepass2-plugin-application-indicator

From now on, when you start KeePass2, it will load this plugin and show the KeePass icon at the tray bar. I tested it on Xubuntu 14 and it works flawlessly. All credit goes to this guy: http://sourceforge.net/u/dlech27/profile/

  • Thanks for pointing this out. However, I have switched to LastPass in the meantime ;)

  • I was able to manually add the wily version of that PPA to install the plugin on Debian Jessie. May 9, 2017 at 0:41

    There is also keepass2-plugin-tray-icon which is probably better suited to XFCE than the Application Indicator plugin (Application Indicators are mainly a Unity desktop thing.) Sep 12, 2017 at 14:48
