This is probably related to the file that modRana uses to store settings.
The file is located in:
Code:
/home/user/.modrana/options.bin
You might want to check permissions for this file or the .modrana directory (if you ever run modRana as root, it might get owned by root and modRana would not be able to write to it when running under a normal user).

Another possibility is that the settings file got somehow corrupted. But that should cause that settings are not loaded, not that the can't be stored.

BTW, a quick solution/workaround (as root):
Code:
cd /home/user/
mv .modrana .modrana_backup
This would rename the modRana profile directory, causing modRana to create a fresh one on startup.
