user34901: I installed bitcoin-qt (v 0.12.1) on Kubuntu 15.10. When starting it the first time the GUI asked me for the datadir. I set it to an external disk.
Where are this settings stored? There is no bitcoin.conf file in my /home/<user>/.bitcoin/ directory.
I know, that I can manually create the bitcoin.conf file. But I'm just curious, where the settings are stored, if no such file is present?

user208: Bitcoin-Qt stores its own modifiable settings outside of bitcoin.conf (which is intended to only be read).
The location and format of that file is platform dependent, but on Linux it is ~/.config/Bitcoin/Bitcoin-Qt.conf.
