$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR should be?

[crypto]

So what should the

$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR be set as?   

And how do i keep the environment variables set ?   

I am using E19 ..... the environment variables in settings don't seem to be working, however it could be that there set wrong..

currently $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR   is /systemd/user   ... i did try  ./user/1000 as well    ... to my understanding it has to be a directory that is created at boot..


Maybe its           user-runtime: /run/user/1000     from the systemd-path command ...

If someone knows a faq that could explain how to know what to set them as (the environment variables), a link to that would be great as well..

I'm using E22 (current), but to set an environment variable you typically do it in someplace like the system shell profile.  It depends on what needs it (and when) though.  Sorry, I don't know what variable is for, so I don't know that part for sure.

anything in /etc/skel   ?   

Not an expert but E19 is like 2014 is I believe. 

But please, show the absolute minimum amount of info whether you are Sparky 4 or 5    Wayland or Xorg?    output of "inxi -Fxx: marked up as XML code always appreciated.

How installed?  "apt -s install enlightenment | less"    show below

in Buster/Sparky5 gets you E21  (run on Debian non-free netinstall install)  However https://packages.debian.org/buster/enlightenment   says E22.  Installing via DebianStable- Sparky4 - will be OldStable in July 2019

Or  Did you compile?  Compile without Xorg? Probably avoid Wayland if you have Nvidia closed source card. 

If you know your way around the command line install the CLI sparky5 and then follow E page for compilation.  If you do not - maybe try it out in a VirtualMachine  Sparky Wiki page in Sparky is 3 y.o. Debian wiki page does not exist to best of my knowledge. 


peace out.
