Unable to find Jenkins config.xml on ubuntu

Can some body tell me where can I find config.xml on ubuntu 14.

I am using tomcat8 and deployed Jenkins.war file under web app. While configuring security, I did mistake and now it's asking for username and password.

I stopped server, deleted Jenkin from webapp and satrted server with new Jenkins.war, but no luck still it's asking credentials.

From this site I came to know that we need to set

 <useSecurity> to false in config.xml,

but I am unable to find config.xml of my ubuntu.

If you installed it through snap/Discover in Ubuntu/Kubuntu, you'll find it at

/var/snap/jenkins/<version>/config.xml

I found mine at:

/var/lib/jenkins/config.xml

The official documentation seems to be of no use. Literally.

I ran into the same problem few days back,

set useSecurity to false from true and restart the server

<useSecurity>false</useSecurity>

with this you can able to signup for Jenkin and use that user to login.

To find config.xml

file will be under users home directory. jenkin will create config file under .Jenkins directory.

you can use below command to find config file

find ~/ -type f -name "config.xml"

this will give path to config.xml file, If you have sudo access you can edit the file.
