Where is the startup file after blender upgrade to 2.64?

So, after the upgrade to blender 2.64 my preferences are lost and i have to set it up from the beginning BUT I do not want that. Any ideas of where the blender config file is?

I know this is an old thread, but I've managed to find it. The version I'm running is 2.65 but I suspect they started using this since 2.64. Anyway the path to the user pref file is now:

/home/USERNAME/.config/blender/2.65/config/userpref.blend /startup.blend

At least, that's the case for me!

Hope this helps!

If you saved the User Settings in Blender, a file called startup.blend is created. It usually resides in

~/.blender/[blender version]/config/startup.blend

So, for example, if you had saved the settings for version 2.63, it's

~/.blender/2.63/config/startup.blend

You could copy that file to the config directory of your newly installed version:

cp ~/.blender/2.63/config/startup.blend ~/.blender/2.64/config/startup.blend
