Found it, backed it up. It was in the home folder, odd that some were generated in the src folder. Something I did I guess, oh well. Thanks for the help. Since the new ones where generated in the /bitmonero/build/release/src/ where simplewallet is, I assumed that's where they belonged, moved the wallet over there and it said new wallet generated, went back to the home folder, and there was the new one. Copied the original back to home, and all better.

I cant seem to open my wallet in simplewallet, the name I use must be incorrect, but I see no file in the build/release/src folder that matches the address of my original wallet, as shown in the simplewallet log. When attempting to open said wallet, it just generates a new one, which would be fine, but I had some coin in the original one. Any way to recover the wallet name? on Ubuntu 14.04
