Hi, I can somewhat influence GNOME 3 (wheezy) to my taste, with the following commands, to be run under X11/GNOME and valid for the logged user only:
gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.desktop volumes-visible true gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons true gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri '' gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background primary-color '#000000' gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background secondary-color '#000000' gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences focus-mode 'sloppy' gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences raise-on-click false gsettings set org.gnome.shell.overrides button-layout :minimize,maximize,close Unfortunately, gsettings seems to be interactively communicating with some daemon (dbus), and this daemon doesn't exist when I am installing. Moreover, the user doesn't exist yet, and I want a system-wide default. I am automatically installing with FAI. Below, I will remove the FAI details (such as $target) so to make it more understandable. I tried a list of different ideas, and the last one is the following, for example for the first gsettings above. gconftool --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --type boolean --set /org/gnome/nautilus/desktop/volumes-visible true This creates, correctly, a file /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/%gconf-tree.xml which seems to contain correct settings. However they are not activated. What is the best way to automatically and system-wide set GNOME configurations, through bash, at automatic installation time ? Thank you for any wheezy/GNOME3 compatible pointers. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
