I don't know which TeX distribution Ubuntu uses. If it is one of the
distributions with kpathsea, then "kpsepath bib" should list standard
paths that will be searched for bibtex files. My system shows nine
locations, including three under my home directory. These locations
work regardless of how emacs is started (from a shell or the gui).
