I am working on a project to where I need to relocate the standard cache directory locations within Xubuntu. I read this article and It doesn't seem work for me.

I add this entry to my /home/test/.pam_environment file without success.

and I have also added this to my /etc/environment file as well without success.

and without quotes

no success! help!

I may be on to something:

http://linux.die.net/man/5/pam_env.conf

after examining the printenv output I noticed that my variable had a '$' in from of it and nothing else did so I put 2+2 together and resolved the issue. I just took away the '$' and now my user environment display what I want:

now my default caching in now placed in the specified path. Now instead of adding options to certain executable such as chromium to redirect my cache I just modify the default caching location:

Oddly once I fireup Chromium it worked and stored it cache under

but the minute I close it, it resorts back to the old directory.

?????????????

I also tried creating a ~/.xprofile and adding this to that and it didnt work so I dug a little further and think that I have found a solution to my answer. instead of change the entire path of $XDG_CACHE_HOME, I decided to resort back to figuring out how to redirect the cache output of chromium so here is what I did:

I add some flags to /etc/chromium-browser/default

that did the trick so far. I am still testing. Though it is working now it still creates a directory under ~/.cache/chromium but fortunately it doesn't copy anything there.

???? I guess this work for now
