Sorry to bump an old thread, but I have the config file error in ruby box as well, and when I tried you fix, it did not solve the problem. Is there anything else I can try?

This is the only fix that worked for me with the current version of Dosbox.

The issue is that in recent DOSBox versions I've moved the config file back to its original position, since I have finally come to understand that moving in the first place was a bad idea.

Hi, i am also new to this but i tried doing the same thing to run rubybox and it did the config missing. well i used emelfm2 to browse to see where dosbox is and i cant find it. tips?

you should run dosbox first from the menu, then youll find the configuration file in ".dosbox/dosbox-0.73.conf".

okay let me start over.
i cant run dosbox because i cant access some of the characters with the FN key. so i installed ruby box but it says " unable to find dosbox config file. press ok to run dobox to generate it or cancel to quit."
so i press okay and it just starts over with the same message.

So, i tried following the insructions you gave hsmalls

"open a terminal and write:

mkdir apps
cd apps
ln -s "../.dosbox/dosbox-0.73.conf" "DOSBox 0.73 Preferences.txt"

but when i do that i get the following message

You did not type the command correctly, as per the screenshot.

Well, I see on the screenshot that you typed:

mkdir apps
cd apps
../.dosbox/dosbox-0.73.conf

Note that you didn't type "ln -s", which is the first part of the third line.
