It looks like you downloaded "KeePass Pro Portable" from https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/keepass-pro-portable -- Don't do that. Who knows what's in there, and the way they manage that stuff most likely means that your data gets lost every time you upgrade the version since it's in a subfolder. Just get the already "portable" version that KeePass already has from https://keepass.info/download.html. Unzip it and it runs without an issue, I used that on a USB stick for years. There's no need...

OK, thanks for clearing that up. Looks like a second copy will work and has the added bonus of being able to disable the 'plugin not supported' warning I get on Linux/Mono. And I can still have them reference the same actual database file through the commandline option. Thanks!

I have sort of an odd usage case. I use KeePass (2.41 now) primarily on Windows 10, but I have occasional use for it on Linux (Ubuntu 16.04). I have the portable version installed on a USB stick (for various reasons) and also copied to a shared network location that I can access from both Windows and Linux. This all works great on both Windows and Linux with mono, except for one thing: when I open KeePass in Linux/mono (even without saving anything), my KeePass.config.xml gets overwritten, forcing...

I just want to post a slight update to this, in case it might be useful to others -- I found out today when attempting to run 'mono /path/to/KeePass.exe' from a new USB stick on Ubuntu 16.04, that there seems to be a mono bug that may prevent this from working if the USB stick is formatted with exfat (which itself requires 'sudo apt-get install exfat-utils' to read in Ubuntu 16.04). My old drive was formatted with FAT32 and it worked fine, but exfat resulted in a SIGSEGV error and core dump. Reformatted...

Sorry for not replying earlier. No, you don't run all those commands. Whether you use 'yum' or 'apt-get' depends on your Linux distribution -- Ubuntu uses apt-get while RedHat/Fedora uses 'yum'. So to set up your environment, you run sudo apt-get install mono-complete xdotool for Ubuntu or similar (sudo yum install mono-* xdotool) for RedHat/Fedora. Once you have your environment prepared, you just unzip the portable version somewhere on the USB and run mono path/to/KeePass.exe (replacing path with...

Indeed it is, thanks Dominik! I've never bothered to look into it before because I use it so rarely on Linux. So after 'sudo apt-get install mono-complete xdotool' on the host, I can confirm that, without any further system modification aside from installing those required packages, I can now use the Ctrl-V autotype method as well in Linux on Portable KeePass 2.x from my USB stick. Per https://keepass.info/help/v2/setup.html, global autotype requires some slight system preference modification, but...
