For some time now, KeePass does not attempt to open the most recently used file on startup, and the file list under the menu item "Open recent" is empty.
Instead I have to navigate to my database manually. This was never a problem until a couple of weeks ago.
I'm on Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS and KeePass 2.39.1. I could imagine this is a problem related to Ubuntu, but I thought I'd ask over here before going down that path. Any help would be much appreciated!

@Paul, thank you for responding. I think I do have write access.
I found KeePass.config.xml in two directories: ~/.config/KeePass and /usr/lib/keepass2. Permissions are set to 664 and 644, respectively.

That setting is not changed by KeePass as far as I know. It is pre-set in the installation file, true for the installed version, false for the portable (zip) version. I don't know how it is set when installed / packaged in Linux.
cheers, Paul

You don't have write access to the KeePass config file so KeePass can't save settings.
Does this thread help?

Check that you have this value in ~/.config/KeePass/keepass.config.xml

Thank you Paul, the setting was indeed set to false.
Do you have any idea what may have changed the setting without my (conscious) interfering?
