I have no /home/<username>/config. With most Linux distros (so with mine) there is a /home/<username>/.config/<name of program>/<configuration files>, which contains the configuration files per program for most programs. But there is no ~/.config/jconsole directory. As the trace shows, that jconsole searches for ~/.jprofile.ijs I think, that J/jconsole still uses the old pattern, with which configuration files were thrown into $HOME. Nowadays the $HOME/<program name>/<its config files> is the pattern of choice to prevent filling up $HOME with configuration files, which are hard to assign to programs and even may lead to filename clashes. When starting jconsole it does not print any error or warning though... Is there any debug mode for jconsole to get more informations, what's going on?....strace is a very low level tool to debug program via logging their system call into the Linux kernel.... Cheers!
