It does not sound absurd at all. There is a keepassx bug that is causing
problems if users shutdown their database improperly just like you said. Its
probably the same one I was reading about. And to be honest with you I would
take any suggestions at this point no matter how absurd you think it is ; )
When I was first having the problem I removed the keepassx databases and
restored from backups. Like I said I was having problems restoring them. I just
realized that the old vault-appvms that I removed keep showing back up in
/var/lib/qubes/appvms . Maybe this is either the problem or a symptom of the
problem?
Hopefully I will have a solution soon. For what its worth I really appreciate
everyones response and If you you have any more suggestion I would like to hear
them.

I use the same as you Keepassx.
I"m thinking it may have something to do with dom0 backup/restore. I have multiple 512
Gib usb drives i do backups on. I don"t want to try to restore from one of my other ones
because I"m afraid they may become corrupted as well.
My next step doing a fresh install on my other hard drive and see if I can restore
my kepassx databases onto that. If that does not work I guess I"m out of luck.

I"ve been trying to resolve a problem with both of my Debian-8
vault-appvms.. For some reason my Keepass passwords no longer work.
When I type in the password I get this message:
Unable to open database. Wrong key or database file is corrupt
I have been using the same password for both my Keepass databases for
quite some time now so the problem isn"t due to forgetting or
miss-typing my passwords. Normally this would not be much of a problem
except for the fact that restoring from backups is not remedying the
issue. I"ve restored both my Keepass vault-appvms and my Debian-8
Template.
Looking back at the day before this happened there is only one thing
that I did that may have contributed to the problem. I removed my
sys-usb (netvm) and created a sys-usb (appvm). After I created the new
sys-usb I realized that It would not run unless I set pci_strictreset
to false. This was not acceptable to me so I removed the new sys-usb
and created a new one with:
sudo qubesctl top.enable qvm.sys-usb
sudo qubesctl top.enable qvm.sys-usb
The reason I think this may have contributed to the problem is because
the first two times I tried to restore my appVMs things did not go
well. The first time the Gui completely froze and I was unable to
unmount the drive. The second time the backup-restore did not complete
but at least the screen did not freeze up. The third time I used a
backup from a couple days prior and everything went smoothly. It did
not solve the problem though. I still can not unlock my Keepass vaults.
I"m not really sure what to do next. Is it possible that my backups
are somehow being corrupted when I restore them? I"m a little
flustered at this point and I could use some guidance.
Thanks in advance

If it makes you feel better, I had the thing fail. with the same
messages, and I"d swear, I did nothing at all, after that I stopped
using it ..... as pretty pointless to use something that MUST be
reliable and have it fail so easily, whatever caused it IMHO of course
; I think mine was in the Vault VM
Which Keepass? On debian:
user@host:~$ apt-cache search keepass
keepass2 - Password manager
keepass2-doc - Password manager - Documentation
keepassx - Cross Platform Password Manager
kpcli - command line interface to KeePassX password manager databases
libfile-keepass-perl - interface to KeePass V1 and V2 database files
I ask because I have been using keepassx for three or four years with
only two databases. I keep multiple copies on different storage devices
and I have had only one copy ever become corrupt, but it was the fault
of the usb device. I use keepassx and kpcli with pleasure.

I"ve never had a database keepassx become corrupt. I use fedora for my vaultvm.
And sorry if this sounds absurd, but very frequently the database file will become
unselected, this happens to everyone in my family all the time and you sometimes
will repeatedly try the password, to have it fail, not realizing you actually have
to re-select the database file again. This happens if you don"t shut down
keepassx properly.
your are still top-posting :P
