From the spec: If $XDG_DATA_HOME is either not set or empty, a default equal to $HOME/.local/share should be used. Similarly there's a default (.config/) defined for XDG_CONFIG_HOME. So the fallback is well-defined rather than "whatever you would do otherwise".
Also, for my 2c, you should consider updating your Intrepid install if you at all can. It hasn't been supported for over two years, so it hasn't seen any security updates in that time. The Ubuntu do-release-upgrade system is pretty easy and reliable.
- ricardobeat 14y ago$HOME/.local/share doesn't exist on OSX either.
- masklinn 14y agoIf it does not exist, you've not used a soft using it. I have one.
- ricardobeat 14y agoNot much of a standard then - I have done hundreds of installs.
- bkor 14y agoXDG is a freedesktop standard. Meaning: checking that standard on OS X is a bit strange.
- duaneb 14y agoI thought we were talking about unix, not the "free desktop standard".
