[SOLVED] How to find a d/l file on my PC?

jamison20000e · 01-11-2017, 06:00 AM

If keypass or keyepass2 needs to run as eg sudo ie root then it could be

Code:

sudo man keypass

did you install keepass2 already? You can check it in synaptic for example, by: dpkg -l | grep keepass
also you can try man -k keepass to find the man page of it.

Looks like we've been misspelling it: http://keepass.info/help/base/cmdline.html

the image in your first post.

This is what comes back. Not that I know anything, but it looks to me like it's found something there:

Code:

 dpkg -l | grep keepass
ii  keepass2      2.34+dfsg-1~ubuntu16.04~ppa1      all     Password manager

Also:

Code:

man -k keepass
keepass2 (1)         - password manager

I don't know what all that means in English though, if anything?

jamison20000e · 01-11-2017, 06:20 AM

Key, now try just

Quote:

man keepass2

pan64 · 01-11-2017, 06:21 AM

ii means installed

keepass2 (1) - password manager
means it is man keepass2 and is available. If it was not found you may need to execute:

Code:

export MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/share/man
# before
man keepass2

but actually that was mistyped, it is not keypass2, but keepass2

Success!

Code:

man keepass2

starts list some sort of manual.
Is there some way to save it, and view it more easily in say, Libre Office?

pan64 · 01-11-2017, 06:34 AM

no, I mean no need to save it, you can execute man keepass2 any time you need it.
If you want to open it in libreoffice you can do the following:

Code:

man keepass2 > /tmp/keepass2.man
loffice /tmp/keepass2.man

but actually better to read the man page directly.

jamison20000e · 01-11-2017, 06:34 AM

There are GUI viewers for man pages like: Xman, Gman, KDE-Help and so on... a search or two in Synaptic may help for more.

jamison20000e · 01-11-2017, 06:37 AM

Can change your GUI terminal profile if that helps (black on white?)

For me personally, I'd rather be able to save it and read it easily when I need.
Not knowing anything about this, it opens in LO, but only about 10/12 lines and produces this in terminal, whatever it means?

Code:

man keepass2 > /tmp/keepass2.man
watt@PCMint ~ $ loffice /tmp/keepass2.man

(soffice:22583): Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_window_set_icon_list: icons too large
:1: parser error : Document is empty
KEEPASS2(1)                 General Commands Manual                KEEPASS2(1)
^
:1: parser error : Document is empty
KEEPASS2(1)                 General Commands Manual                KEEPASS2(1)
^

Perhaps I'm being too difficult asking something like this?

pan64 · 01-11-2017, 06:57 AM

Code:

man keepass2 > /tmp/keepass2.txt
loffice /tmp/keepass2.txt

probably works better.

it is already saved and available on your host: /usr/share/man/man1/keepass2.1.gz if I remember well.
man keepass2 will automatically unzip, format and show it to you.

I'm guessing that it's possible I didn't d/l the complete package, not really knowing what I'm doing?

Code:

man keypass2
No manual entry for keypass2

The program is called "keepass" not "keypass"

Keepass2 has a manual page (although there's not a lot there, I just looked)

man keepass2

will bring it up.

(nevermind, I see you already found it).
