$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set

Hi
I had an error message when enlightenment starts, I was told that the problem is that $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not set apart from another problem.
If I understand well this variable should be set by the system.

Hi, jls. In other OSes that variable is set at login by bloatware such as systemd or pamd. Maybe in lean-and-mean TC you need to manually export that variable somewhere at login? Try putting this in your ~/.profile (or ~/.xsession or the like), backing up your files, and rebooting:
Code:
[Select]
export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp/$(id -u)-runtime-dir
In the referenced thread below in Arch Linux forum, the problem was that a service launched at boot--psd (profile-sync-daemon) in that specific case--was unsetting the variable. If the above idea doesn't work by itself, try also booting into a bare-minimum GUI environment (X server + enlightenment + any xdg* extensions you normally load) and checking to see whether the variable is set, to exclude the possibility that some rogue TC extension in unsetting the variable.
Hope that helps.
