Configuration

Settings management

Tools

• GSettings is the tool to be used for configuration
• dconf is a backend for GSettings. GSettings should be used instead of dconf
• Gconf / gconftool-2 est l’ANCETRE (qui peine à disparaitre…) de gsettings. Il faut donc utiliser gsettings en priorité.

• https://developer.gnome.org/GSettings/
• https://developer.gnome.org/dconf/unstable/dconf-overview.html

gsettings usage

Lister les clés dans un schéma : gsettings list-keys org.gnome.desktop.background

Connaitre la valeur d’une clé

• gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri
• gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options

see:

• https://people.gnome.org/~ryanl/glib-docs/gvariant-format-strings.html

Lister TOUS les schemas et TOUTES les clés gsettings list-recursively gsettings list-schemas | xargs -n 1 -I '{}' sh -c 'gsettings list-keys {} | sed "s/^/{} - /"’

GNOME screensaver and locker

The daemon is controled using gnome-screensaver-command

gnome-screensaver-command -l → lock now !

The lock screen wallpaper is controlled using a gsettings key: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri 'file:///usr/share/backgrounds/gnome/FootFall.png’

IMPORTANT: to force gnome wallpaper to reload, the content of folder ~/.cache/wallpaper has to be removed.
