Bug description:
dhis2-lite is designed to be deployed without any configuration.  Unpack and go ... It should be able to be launched by just double-clicking on the executable jar file.

To achieve this the application must be able to determine the directory its running out of (mostly in order to find its H2 database files).  the system property user.dir reports the current working directory on windows but the behaviour is different on ubuntu gome (and presumably other linux + window manager combinations).

Current workaround on ubuntu is to start manually from a console:
java -jar dhis2-lite.jar
