KeePassXC not opening on new fresh baremetal installation

Banebere · September 4, 2026, 10:08am

As title says, new installation on thinkpad x560, i even downloaded the appimage from their site, it wont open either. Opens fine inside vbox on my home pc so its a laptop problem as far as i know.

hmm if the appimage wont open either its probably not the flatpak/package itself. in my experience on thinkpads that usually ends up being a missing qt/xcb lib or the app crashing on start before any window shows.

maybe try from a terminal:
keepassxc
or the appimage path, and see what error dumps out

also journalctl --user -xe right after a failed launch sometimes shows the qt plugin / libxcb thing. if its a black box with no error, QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 can be noisy but useful.

probably not kicksecure-specific if vbox works, more like the bare metal session libs.

OK it gets more ridiculous. KeePass works on that laptop INSIDE both kicksecure and whonix vm’s

When i try from terminal it spits error
zsh: illegal hardware instruction (core dumped) keepassxc

journalctl --user -xe
Spits this

Might be triggered by a hardening setting. Some of our configuration causes specific hardware to malfunction but not others.

Reboot the system, but on the boot menu, press the e key to edit boot settings, Move your cursor to the line that starts with linux, then remove gather_data_sampling=force from the command line. Then press Ctrl+X to boot. If KeePassXC works then, reboot into sysmaint mode, then use the following instructions to remove gather_data_sampling=force permanently:

Some documentation about gather_data_sampling=force sometimes causing issues:

github.com/rspamd/rspamd

[BUG] `rspamd --version` `illegal hardware instruction` in function `rspamd_cryptobox_test_instr` caused by Linux kernel parameter `gather_data_sampling=force` (Enable Gather Data Sampling (GDS) mitigation)

illegal hardware instruction is SIGILL, so the binary is hitting an opcode your cpu doesnt have. that matches it working in the vms (they usually advertise a newer cpu) and dying on bare metal. check lscpu for avx/avx2 flags, then try an older keepassxc build or a flatpak aimed at a lower baseline. appimage dying the same way points at the binary, not kicksecure packaging.

@nite_route SIGILL usually, but not always, points to a binary hitting an opcode the CPU doesn’t have. In this instance, it’s known that one of the hardening measures Kicksecure enables can result in spurious SIGILLs from programs that are CPU-compatible, as covered above.
