Kubuntu install unable to access config files #693

Hey All, First I apologize that this will be an incomplete report, I set up remote access and the pc went to sleep just before I got home... I will fill in the blanks soon!

I installed Quelea using the built in snap installer thing on kubuntu, everything works kinda but it keeps freezing up completely and I have to terminate it.

When I looked at /var/log/syslog there were loads of IO errors around a user.preferences (I think since I don't have it infront of me) and various other errors about the java process being unable to get a file lock.

From what I searched there should typically be a ~/.java folder where these preferences are stored in the users folder like /home//.java
the same with the /.quelea/ folder that should have all the config data like the preferences settings, images, themes etc.

However on this install all the /.quelea/ stuff was in /snap/something/something

So of course there is a permission issue where the logged in user doesn't have access to something but I don't know what the folder is that its trying to access to grant the extra permissions.
I also don't know if there is a better way to install quelea so it just stores everything directly in /home//.quelea and /.java/

Any suggestions on what I can change or where to look?
Or of a better way to install it other than the snap package manager thing?
