Ran into this today. This is a directory permissions issue. You can fix it via xterm. Launch xterm, then:

Code:
sudo gainroot
chown -R user.users /home/user/.xournal
exit
exit
That should fix it.

Thanks for your help but this problem persist. When I enter the above code through xterm and keyed in

chown -R user.users /home/user/.xournal

it returned the following:

chown: /home/user/.xournal/config: Operation not permitted
chown: /home/user/.xournal: Operation not permitted
chown: /home/user/.xournal: Operation not permitted

Is there any way to solve the problem? Thanks again.

Just double checking, did you miss the gainroot part?
Code:
sudo gainroot
-m

A new version is up that fixes this issue.

Sorry about that!

Reinstalled Xournal with the latest version - 0.4.5fremantle16. Still having the same problem.
"Error saving file'.autosave'" and application exists when clicking open, save as, or export, etc.

The fix in 0.4.5fremantle17, you should see that. Try again.

Updated again. It picked up 0.4.5fremantle17 correctly this time. The autosave error is gone. And I do see a .autosave file under /home/user/.xournal directory.

However, I am still experiencing the other problems. Can't do any explorer related job within xournal. such as Open, Save as, export. Xournal simply quits when I hit those menu items. Any suggestions? Thanks Anidel!

That bug is NOT in Xournal. You have some other application installed that relies on Monorail.

Monorail is causing that error (and not only in Xournal also in MaePad and possibly others).
