Hi Frank --<br>
<br>
I did not know that about Ubuntu -- ha, ha -- I use Fedora.<br>
<br>
It occurred to me just after my post to look at the hidden files in my
/root directory. Sure enough there was no .config directory. I
created that and when I restarted Geany as root, that directory was
located and the geany.config file was created.<br>
<br>
Problem solved.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
<br>

<pre wrap="">Hello --
I was using geany on a machine with X windows only. In order to edit
files in the /var/ directory all I had to do was call geany from
command line as root or sudo geany as me. Recently I reformatted to
a newer version of Linux, this time using gnome, and now whenever I
try to run geany as root, I get an error message telling me there is
no configuration file. I tried moving the file from my home
to /usr/share/geany -- no luck. Would someone please tell me what I
am missing?

Are you working on a sudo-only system like Ubuntu which doesn't have
any loginable real root account?
Thanks,
Frank
