Hi Frank --

I did not know that about Ubuntu -- ha, ha -- I use Fedora.

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.

Problem solved.

Thanks.

Doug

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
