For some reason I can't seem to find the debug file created when running the comand line:

Code:

calibre-debug --gui-debug=GUI_DEBUG

I've looked for GUI_DEBUG, and tried ./filename or filename and still no luck. I'm running on Ubuntu 10.10. And tried using the --show-debug option but no luck there either. When Calibre starts up a dialog is shown saying the file GUI_DEBUG (or filename, etc.) will be created and automatically displayed. But it doesn't seem to be created - it also isn't displayed (although I can see the debug output in the terminal window I used to start Calibre).

It works fine if I use the GUI menu option to restart in debug mode - the /tmp file gets created and gets displayed after logging out and can be edited.

I must be missing something obvious. Any pointers?
