I always start by running the problem program from a bash prompt so I can |
| 8 |
look for error messages. Then I check any config files in my ~/ directory, |
| 9 |
usually using grep -ir to check for the name of the program or other strings |
| 10 |
that the program would probably use for config stuff. |

If that doesn't turn up anything useful I resort to running the program |
| 13 |
with strace to see which files it's trying to open. I think most newer |
| 14 |
programs use gui file dialogs when you are asked to specify a default |
| 15 |
directory, but a few older ones may ask you to type in a directory name |
| 16 |
from the keyboard, and it's easy to misspell something. |
