I am new and using Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS. I want to protect a particular folder with a password. so that no one can access the folder without the password. Is there any software or process to do so? I tired cryptkeeper but I failed to install with following error:

E: Unable to locate package cryptkeeper

I had installed Cryptkeeper in Ubuntu 16.04 lts.
I have upgraded Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04.

After I upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04 , I completely lost my file which were encrypted through Cryptkeeper in Ubuntu 16.04. There are only folders where I kept my files.

Now when I try to install Cryptkeeper in Ubuntu 18.04 through terminal it says

E: Package 'cryptkeeper' has no installation candidate

Does anyone know how to bring back my files without degrading Ubuntu to 16.04 LTS?
Or, does anyone know of another file encryption program, as easy to install and use as Cryptkeeper, that will work reliably on Ubuntu 18.04 ?

I tried to set up an encrypted folder on Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial with Gnome desktop. I know that encfs is not considered especially safe anymore, I decided to use it for my purpose anyway. Encrypting a folder with 

encfs /home/xy/.hidden /home/xy/unhidden

worked fine. To add a little more usability to that, I installed cryptkeeper and started it. When I now try to import the newly created encfs-folder, I can see it in the file selection dialog, after enabling hidden files, but I can't seem to figure out how to actually select it for import. There's no "OK" or "Select" button when I highlight it. There's no difference if the folder is mounted or not. Is that a known bug of this combination or am I too dumb to select a folder?

Edit: Screenshot of dialog included.

enter image description here In english: "Ordner anlegen" means "Create folder", "Abbrechen" is "Cancel" and "Vor" seems to be "Prev." in this context.
