Keepass problems

Hello!

I'm having some trouble running keepass. Application starts minimized, but as soon as I click on tray icon it crashes.

Unhandled Exception:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
  at System.IO.FileSystemWatcher.Stop () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 
  at System.IO.FileSystemWatcher.Finalize () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 

Does anyone know how to fix it?

Keepass 2.24-2
Mono 3.2.3-1
Reinstalling didn't help.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Re: Keepass problems

Why don't you use keepassx in the first place? You can also sync it with KeePassDroid for Android, it is open source etc...

It's possible that this is a bug in KeePass, since the error suggests that the FileSystemWatcher isn't properly set. Can you downgrade? Does the same version work in Windows (if you have it installed/in a VM)?

Re: Keepass problems

I do use both keepassx and kepass, now that the latter is broken.
Keepass has more functions and allows better customization, so I prefer it although it depends on mono.
I have dual boot with Windows Server 2012, where it works as expected.
Downgrading did not help, still the same error.

Re: Keepass problems

How are you launching it ? I almost exclusively use KeePassX, but I can successfully run KeePass2 via

mono /path/to/keepass.exe

Also, I just downloaded the "portable" version directly from the KeePass website, extracted it and ran it via mono....I didn't install it.
