dconf profiles not applying
Posted by agent-squirrel@reddit | linuxadmin | View on Reddit | 4 comments
Hi everyone.
Distro: Ubuntu 22.04 Desktop
DE: Gnome
I am attempting to set some system-wide parameters for all users including new users with the dconf tool.
Essentially just a wallpaper and favourites layout so far but neither apply when added to a profile, they do work if the user performs `dconf write` which writes to the user's dconf db.
Here is the layout and contents of the files:
├── db
│ ├── ibus
│ ├── ibus.d
│ ├── local
│ └── local.d
└── profile
├── ibus
└── local
profile/local:
user-db:user
system-db:local
db/local.d/00-UTAS-SOE
[org/gnome/desktop/background]
picture-uri='file:///usr/local/utas/images/wallpapers/Wallpaper2022.jpg'
picture-uri-dark='file:///usr/local/utas/images/wallpapers/Wallpaper2022.jpg'
[org/gnome/shell]
favorite-apps = ['google-chrome.desktop', 'firefox_firefox.desktop', 'microsoft-edge.desktop', 'org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop', 'org.gnome.Terminal.desktop', 'teams.desktop', 'Zoom.desktop']
Running `sudo dconf update` results in no changes and reading the value of any of these nodes back with `dconf read` shows no output.
Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?
Cheers
