    Morning -

    OK fixed it -again- and -again- I don't really understand how or why or what happened but I'll describe it:  

    1. I had regolith-desktop (love it!) installed on my system but not being used (not since I got a triple monitor setup).
    2. about two months ago I did something that messed with my lightdm settings (IIRC I played with some VM's) ==> instead of booting straight into the xubuntu desktop my system started booting into regolith
    3. since then I've just done the extra step of <ctl-alt-f1 ... startx > :: since then I noticed that several of my start-on-boot/login programs were erratic but it's not been a reliably reproducible thing and I didn't notice a pattern
    4. this morning I un-installed regolith and lo & behold a bunch of my usual automatic start-on-boot came back to life (power cycled 4 or 5 times today) ... eg linux key manager login // symless synergy (was always working but didn't show the usual app window on launch) // raspberry imager // conky and including Enpass!
    5. fingers crossed that the repair sticks - but at the moment I feel about as coherent as someone reading tea-leaves bones to predict the crop harvest. 

    If anyone has any ideas for conflicts/ incompatibilities I should look for or any other diagnostic info I could get then I'd be pleased to try and investigate further in case it helps ID something else for someone else.

    This is great, except

    Ooooh I like that - it's a bit like a self-authenticating secret "I can only show you what's in the box if you already know what's in the box" :: or more usefully a self authenticating statement "Je parle francais tres mauvais comme un renard foule" :: forgive me. it's late. I'm tired. but quite enjoying trying to fix this :: bw

    Hi @whyglobaleyes

    I know that the log file location has been posted somewhere on the forum, but for the life of me I cannot find the reference.  Of course, you would have had to have had logging enabled to start with!

    Try: /var/log or possibly /var/crash

    Hopefully one of the moderators with post the location again here.

    Morning & many thanks @Dentonthebear :: I set up logging a few days before v6.4 stopped working and searched the whole /var before I downgraded to v6.3 :: of course uninstalling might have wiped the logfiles but today's double-check below. Does anyone find that reveals anything please?

    Hi @Pratyush Sharma are you one of the moderators? please could you advise where the logfile is? also pl may make a feature request >> when logging is switched on I think it'd be great to have a message that informs where the logfile is saved, or even offers the user the chance to select a custom location.

    I'm Back - Hi @genbushi  @Dentonthebear and @Pratyush Sharma

    Booted this morning, no password login for enpass at starup and can't start it manually.

    I set enpass to save log files a few days ago, does anyone know where they're stored please? I tried /var/logs and ~/Documents/Enpass

    I'm tempted to downgrade enpass v6.4.1.643  back to v6.3.3.601 as per @SR68503 in their post - do you guys think that's going to be my best bet or are there more diagnostic / fix  options?

    thanks in advance

    Thanks @Pratyush Sharma

    Hi @genbushi "just a user" and you're flag is "newbie" ... but I've seen some of your replies - you look more like you're the original creator! qudos mate.

    So I fixed it but TBH I don't see how what I did could have helped.

    1. un/ re-install (clean up in between)
    2. go through the (dropbox) restore (which it always allows) and ... before it had a chance to minimise or quit ... 
    3. I went to [settings] > general > [checked "always run assistant in docked mode" ] :: I also changed the window control to "always stay on top" but that got old v quickly
    4. success! browser extensions working too. happy days >>> <<<
    5. I can relaunch (both from commandline & whisker menu) even after quitting  (both from the panel icon & pkill)
    6. survived a reboot.

    ~ > lsb_release -a
    No LSB modules are available.
    Distributor ID:    Ubuntu
    Description:    Ubuntu 19.10
    Release:    19.10

    which is weird, I was sure I'd upgraded to Xubuntu 20.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    @Dentonthebear I suspected something to do with xubuntu for no other reason than the notification icon in the dock was being erratic, also I vaguely remember a few other programmes wouldn't work if they can't access a notification panel. I posted the apt history because I guessed an update elsewhere had borked enpass but I've got no idea if enpass relies on one of those modules or packages.

    I fear I'm being ignorant - and this is more for my future interest - [1] when you had a lib file missing I assume that was an xubuntu/ shared libfile or was it a part of enpass? or something else?  [2] do you think " apt-get --fix-missing ... " would have helped (is that what you did?) ... or did you manually install a specific dll from an error message? or something else

    thanks for all your replies.

    sidenote: portable enpass worked on a USB: just have to figure out how to keep it updated to the dropbox vault (I'm tempted to put a headless dropbox client on the USB stick but wouldn't that be sledgehammer/ walnut?) should I start a new thread for that?

    Hi,

    I've been using Enpass for at least 5 years (I think) - several platforms and always loved it. About 3 weeks ago it spontaneously stopped running on my desktop, won't launch at all from command line or from the whisker launcher, and the browser plugins don't do anything. Working fine on windows and android. 

    1. Tried uninstalling & re-installing (twice): https://www.enpass.io/support/kb/general/how-to-install-enpass-on-linux/  :: immediately after install I get taken through the dialogue to restore data from dropbox (the authorisation page failed at first both times which it never has before). Then the next time I try to launch the app it fails as above. 
    2. Tried installing Enpass Portable (into a new folder in my PATH) but that didn't work at all - maybe I'll try it on an external USB.
    3. looked at these forums  ... https://discussion.enpass.io/index.php?/topic/19359-is-enpass-still-availble-for-linux/&tab=comments#comment-32741 and https://discussion.enpass.io/index.php?/topic/19302-xubuntu-64-bit-2004/ tried the suggestions but a bit alarmed to see that neither thread seemed to be resolved. 

    I'm looking for any help at all to get this fixed please - I love enpass, there isn't ANY other password manager I'd trust - but this is unusable. In case it helps some info below.

    thanks in advance
