I have an old password set in Gorilla Password Manager. On Ubuntu 17.10 everything worked correctly.

After installing (not upgrade) Ubuntu 18.04, there is a problem with displaying certain characters. I use the Czech characters like č, ž and more. Words with these characters are unreadable.

How can I fix it?

  • Screenshot? "Unreadable" means wrong encoding, letters shown as replacement character �, letters shown as hexadecimal values, letters replaced with other characters? What version is your PasswordSafe database? What version is your Gorilla? What is your locale?

  • Further investigation showed that indeed, on 18.04 Password Gorilla does not like Romanian letters and clobbers them... But PasswordSafe (sudo apt install passwordsafe) does not suffer from this problem, and as far as I know uses the same file format.

  • PasswordSafe works. Thanks to @AlexP . Another solution is to use the latest stable standalone version of Gorilla Password Manager 1.5.37. Ubuntu 18.04 has the beta version 1.6.

  • Had the same problem with Japanese characters. And once an opened psafe3 file is save, the characters are mangled permanently, even opening them in an older version.
