Save Files using Ubuntu Package
« on: August 10, 2021, 02:39:36 pm »
OK, I admit defeat. After several hours of scouring my system, I have located most of the data that I'm familiar with, (init, d_init, etc...) but I simply cannot locate the save data for my worlds.

Where does the Ubuntu package store that, please?

Couldn't you try running a search for "region1" or whatever?

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

Yep. I've done that. No results, even though I have two active worlds. Thanks, though.

Ironblood didn't use an axe because he needed it. He used it to be kind. And right now he wasn't being kind.

Thread doesn't mention where save files are stored.

Not, specifically - but they're almost certainly in the /home/user/.config/dwarf-fortress/ which is mentioned.

Could also be in "/usr/share/..."

Very unlikely, that is where the files common to all users are put. User specific files - like saves - are put in each users /home/user/.config/dwarf-fortress/. That's the whole point of having two places.

There are ways to list all the files which are accessed by a particular process. See the answers to this stackoverflow question.
Try running
Code: [Select]
lsof -p [PID] (where [PID] is the ID of the Dwarf Fortress process) while saving or loading a fortress. There will probably be a lot of output but somewhere in there will be the save directory.

You can get the PID of DF from the System Monitor program, or with something like
Code: [Select]
ps -ef | grep dwarf

Thank you SO much.

For the record, the files were located in ~/.local/share/dwarf-fortress/run/data/saves.
