Hi,
bellow are the steps I undertook to try to disable thumbnails in
Nautilus. It didn't help. (I'm on Debian Wheezy, which seemingly has
no /etc/dconf by default):
- mkdir -p /etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks
- nano /etc/dconf/db/local.d/settings
# /etc/dconf/db/local.d/settings
# prevent showing thumbnails
[org.gnome.nautilus.preferences]
show-image-thumbnails="never"
- nano /etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/settings
# prevent changes to showing thumbnails setting
org.gnome.nautilus.preferences.show-image-thumbnails
- mkdir /etc/dconf/profile
- nano /etc/dconf/profile/local
system-db:local
- export DCONF_PROFILE=/etc/dconf/profile
- dconf update
What's wrong here?
I also tried to disable it using dconf-editor (both as root and as
regular user) and I was not able to change the setting from 'local-only'
to 'never' it looked like it was locked.
I also tried gsettings:
# gsettings get org.gnome.nautilus.preferences show-image-thumbnails
# 'local-only'
# gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences show-image-thumbnails
"never"

Any ideas?
Thank you.
