| 12 | 9 | fuzzy76 | If you install quasselcore via the default Ubuntu (or Debian) package then your config dir is in '/var/cache/quassel'. |
| 13 | 10 | fuzzy76 | This means that you need to run quasselcore --add-user with --configdir=/var/cache/quassel and with permissions such that it can access that directory. Usually this means running it with sudo for Ubuntu or as root for Debian. So for adding a user the example would be |
| 14 | 8 | smithbone | |
| 15 | 1 | seezer | > <pre> sudo quasselcore --configdir=/var/cache/quassel --add-user </pre> |

| 17 | 13 | wesleystout | *Note for Ubuntu 11.04 Users* |
| 18 | 13 | wesleystout | If you install quasselcore via the default Ubuntu 11.04 package the config directory is now in '/var/lib/quassel'. |
| 19 | 13 | wesleystout | This means that you need to run quasselcore --add-user with --configdir=/var/lib/quassel and with permissions such that it can access that directory. Usually this means running it with sudo. So for adding a user the example would be |

| 23 | 17 | Anonymous | In case this still gives permission issues (recognized by the 'Core is currently not configured!' message), try: |
| 24 | 17 | Anonymous | > <pre>sudo -u quasselcore -s</pre> |
| 25 | 17 | Anonymous | followed by |
| 26 | 17 | Anonymous | > <pre>quasselcore -c /var/lib/quassel --add-user</pre> |

| 28 | 14 | Dhraakellian | *Note for openSUSE Users* |
| 29 | 15 | Dhraakellian | If you install quasselcore via the openSUSE package (at least from the KDE:Extra repositories), the config directory is in '/var/lib/quasselcore'. |
| 30 | 14 | Dhraakellian | This means that you need to run quasselcore --add-user with --configdir=/var/lib/quasselcore and with permissions such that it can access that directory. Usually this means running it as root or with sudo. So for adding a user the example would be |
| 31 | 14 | Dhraakellian | |
| 32 | 14 | Dhraakellian | > <pre> sudo quasselcore --configdir=/var/lib/quasselcore --add-user </pre> |
