I'd like to run KeePass2 on Ubuntu 10.04 - how do I do that?
-
Might I suggest using keepassX? It's available in the repositories and I haven't found anything wrong with it yet (been using it for years now).– iamatrainOct 16, 2015 at 11:28

1@iamatrain and others: KeePassX didn't support the newer kdbx-database format (password history, multiple attachments, custom entries with protected in-memory streams e.g. storing recovery passwords safely and a lot more features), the latest version of KeePassX (2.0) finally released this month supports the newer format and is a complete rewrite. There are no PPAs yet from developers/maintainers/contributors, but it's easy and quick to build.– LiveWireBTDec 12, 2015 at 9:26

10.04 - lucid
I've been running Keepass2 on Lucid using the standard mono in the repositories (mono -V = mono JIT compiler version 2.4.4)
Note - from the keepass website this is an "unsupported" configuration... however, I'm happy with that since I've never had any issues running this configuration and it means I dont need that one extra PPA that could make my system "unstable" :)
to install
Download the portable KeePass package (v2.19 at the time of writing this). This is a zip package which should open in Archive Manager. Extract the contents into its own folder - for example ~/Downloads/keepass
Install the mono windows forms:
sudo apt-get install libmono-winforms2.0-cil mono-devel
Finally, lets create a keyboard shortcut Alt+K
Run System - Preferences - Keyboard Shortcuts
Add a new shortcuts with the command:
bash -c "cd ~/Downloads/keepass; mono KeePass.exe"
Bind that to Alt+K
To install on 11.04 and above
It is available in the repositories, you can install it. It is the keepass2 package.

For Ubuntu 12.04 and above
The latest KeePass version is available through this PPA (as of today 2.30) :
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:jtaylor/keepass
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install keepass2
