I have tortoisehg (2.1.1) installed on Ubuntu 10.10 and it is working correctly. I would like to configure the keyring extension but am having trouble finding the mercurial.ini file on my system as stated in the directions.
Any help would be appreciated.

The Mercurial system uses a set of configuration files to control aspects of its behaviour.
- (Unix) /etc/mercurial/hgrc.d/*.rc, (Unix) /etc/mercurial/hgrc
Per-installation configuration files, searched for in the directory where Mercurial is installed. is the parent directory of the hg executable (or symlink) being run. For example, if installed in /shared/tools/bin/hg, Mercurial will look in /shared/tools/etc/mercurial/hgrc. Options in these files apply to all Mercurial commands executed by any user in any directory.
- (Unix) /etc/mercurial/hgrc.d/*.rc, (Unix) /etc/mercurial/hgrc
Per-system configuration files, for the system on which Mercurial is running. Options in these files apply to all Mercurial commands executed by any user in any directory. Options in these files override per-installation options.
- (Unix) $HOME/.hgrc
Per-user configuration file(s), for the user running Mercurial. On Windows 9x, %HOME% is replaced by %APPDATA%. Options in these files apply to all Mercurial commands executed by this user in any directory. Options in thes files override per-installation and per-system options.
