After a lockup/crash in my Linux Mint (Mate) PC, I can no longer access my databases. I was trying to streamline my directory and filenames protocols via terminal. In the process my pc has crashed and when I rebooted the machine most of my directories and file paths no longer worked including KeePassXC.
Is there any way to set it straight again ? I must admit I was communicating with ChatGPT Ai at the time and sending a copy of my terminal output to the Ai when my PC locked up, requiring the reboot and subsequent lockup/crash. I've tried some suggestions to no avail. Any thoughts would be appreciated....... Tom

I would like to clarify something I posted above.....I'm only asking for help to link my KeePassXC password to my database. I feel that the path has has been changed due to the lockup/crash. For instance, a capitol letter has been changed to lower case or any file name spaces have been deleted in order to streamline files as Linux OS prefers. This can be done via terminal commands. Tom

I would start by searching your user files for anything ending in KDBX.
If you find files you can open them by selecting Database > Open Database in KeePassXC.
If that doesn't work I would consider restoring your machine from backup.

p.s. this is the KeePass site, XC is a different app, but we are happy to help with XC if we can.
