Same for the today released, update to version 2.25 -- Empty window showing desktop background only, no availability to close this window. You've to kill "cli" with "killall cli" to get rid oft it (klicking "close" puts the window into the background instead of ending the process).
Keepass2 is not working at all on Ubuntu 12.04.4 ...?
This is not a KeePass bug, KeePass works on Windows and many *nix systems. It is most likely a problem with your installation of mono.
Have you checked you have the mono requirements? http://keepass.info/help/v2/setup.html#mono
Have you tried the Debian/Ubuntu release? Under "Contributed packages". http://keepass.info/download.html

calling

leads to an empty window, showing background or parts of other windows only.
Since you meant I shall install the debain/ubuntu-package instead. I surely did.
I state the page "http://keepass.info/help/v2/setup.html#mono":
"Debian/Ubuntu Linux:
Install the keepass2 / KeePass 2.x for Debian/Ubuntu Linux package (e.g. using APT). A link to a page with more information about this package can be found on the downloads page."
I'd say: KeePass2 isn't running as expected (an empty, never drawn in window isn't what anyone expects), You cant terminate the application once started since associated events going highwire.
It doesn't seem there is anything like a debug flag or an environment variable having the same effect. Just not working.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The stack trace does not indicate that there is a deadlock. How long are you waiting before killing KeePass? On my Mac once or twice when I installed a new version, it took a long time (more than a minute maybe?) for KeePass to start the first time. After that, it worked fine.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I'm seeing the same behavior on Mint16. Interestingly, if I run the launcher (/usr/bin/cli /home/nalderso/Downloads/keepass2-2.25/KeePass.exe "$@") again after keepass is already running (with a blank window) then then keepass wakes up, prompts me for my database password, and then fills in the window.
The behavior is the same between 2.23 and 2.25. Mono version is 2.10.8.1.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Same here. Starting keepass2 once -> empty window. Starting it the second time window is filled!
Looking at running processes, I only find one keepass2.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
KeePass 2.x is designed by default to only allow a single instance. This is why starting a second instance seems to give the first instance a kick in the pants and make it start working again.

The problem of the black window seems related to the Options... > Interface (tab) > Main Window (section) > Minimize main window after opening a database option.
Can those of you with this issue confirm that you have this option checked. You might also want to play around with the other minimization options.

This is expected if you are using Ubuntu Unity or another desktop that does not support gnome tray icons. If this is the case and you want a taskbar icon, see http://keepass.info/plugins.html#linuxint.

When I have seen this before, it is because of a deadlock in the KeePass code - usually caused by a plugin. If you have any plugins, remove them.
If you don't have any plugins and it is still locking up, start KeePass from a terminal window. When it locks up, send it the QUIT signal.
This should give you a stack trace that will let us see where it is locking up.
Here it is -- created by "sudo kill -QUIT $(pgrep cli)":

This is expected if you are using Ubuntu Unity or another desktop that does not support gnome tray icons. If this is the case and you want a taskbar icon, see http://keepass.info/plugins.html#linuxint.
And thanks for the feedback. It will help us hopefully come up with yet another mono workaround.
With the current KeePass development snapshot, I can reproduce this issue neither on Kubuntu 14.04 nor on Ubuntu 14.04.
Can someone who previously had this problem test whether the issue still occurs?
