Hello,

i try to run Enpass under Linux Mint 21, but after every restart of the system, Enpass has forgotten the configuration (Sync-Mode, Tresor etc) and starts the configuration process from new ("Enter Activation Code" and so on).

What can i do?

Any help is welcome

Regards

Frank

To resolve Enpass forgetting its configuration on Linux Mint 21, try the following steps:

1.Ensure Enpass has the necessary permissions to read and write its configuration files.
2.Verify that the configuration files are stored in a persistent directory like `~/.config/Enpass`.
3. Ensure the files and directories are owned by your user and have the correct permissions. Use:
   ```bash
   sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~/.config/Enpass
   sudo chmod -R 700 ~/.config/Enpass
   ```
4.Sometimes a fresh install can resolve configuration issues. Backup your data, uninstall Enpass, and then reinstall it.

If issues persist, consider reaching out to Enpass support at support@enpass.io for further assistance.

Hi, 

i created the folder ~/.config/Enpass (why not created at installation?) and set access and ownership like you mentioned above.

After that, i un- and reinstalled enpass (with the appmanager of Linux Mint as Flatpak) and set the configuration.

But nothing is stored in ~/.config/Enpass (and no error message is coming up), same behaviour after restart: Enpass wants to set a new configuration.

As you suggested, i wrote a mail to support@enpass.io.

Hi,

found it.

The reason for this problem was that i've installed enpass with the App-Manager of Linux Mint as Flatpak.

After i've deinstalled this version and reinstalled in a console window (following the instructions on the enpass website), it runs like a charm.

Funny fact: The problem i've described in this posting is also gone, all folders are shown.

Thanks.

 

Best regards

Frank
