1 Hi,
2
3 I've got a message
4 Note that '//usr/share' is not in the search path
5 set by the XDG_DATA_HOME and XDG_DATA_DIRS
6 environment variables, so applications may not
7 be able to find it until you set them. The
8 directories currently searched are:
9 - /root/.local/share
10 - /usr/share/gdm
11
12 Since many icons are under /usr/share/icons
13 this looks like a broken installation.
14
15 What is the best place to set XDG_DATA_HOME and XDG_DATA_DIRS
16 system wide?
17
18 Many thanks for a hint,
19 Helmut.
