Curt is still having a problem:
Have already checked disk and no errors.  Question: if I uninstall KeepassX, will that release any wayward, unknown passwords that could be blocking access to files, or will these passwords remain?  I considered buying a UPS a couple of years ago after a mishap but didn't.  This Time I Will ! !
Thanks,
Curt

Jeruvy proposed the following answer:
Sorry to hear that.  I always like to remind people that a UPS is a very
good and important investment for computers since they can prevent this
from occurring.  They are not expensive or hard to use and can save many
hours and much money in recovering hard disk problems among other things
caused by power interruptions.

Regardless, let me try to help you with your issue.  First you should
check your hard disk(s) for any errors and fix them before you use them
seriously.  If there are errors on the disk you may cause more problems
or lose data and that is something nobody wants.

Using Smartmontools will determine the extent of concern you should have
with your hard disk, this how to will explain in great detail how to
install/setup and check your disks.  It's written for ubuntu 7.10 but
it's still relevant.

debian-ubuntu

If you encounter any problems or confusion or 'it doesn't work' reply
back with the details.

Once the disk is checked as O.K., then try again and see if you can get
keepassx to work normally.  If not let us know if you get the same error
or a different one.  You may need to reinstall the package:

$ sudo apt-get remove keepassx
$ sudo apt-get install keepassx

and/or copy the database back to your home directory (assuming thats
where you keep it) from backup.

Good luck.
