Cameron, with this, I've been able to look at an example in the desktop-base package and I found my way with a mix of it plus using update-alternative for the background image. Now, if I'm creating a new user, the theme used (plus other few MATE GUI tweaks) are taken in account. The "1)" is done thanks to you, thanks for this ! The last thing I'm working on is the "straight-live" install. As said in my previous email, I've got some command line which are working in a terminal launched as a user such as : gsettings set org.mate.Marco.general theme 'mytheme' gsettings set org.mate.background picture-filename '/usr/share/backgrounds/mytheme/mybackgroundpicture.png' gsettings set org.mate.interface gtk-theme 'mytheme' ... but those doesn't work when launched in a root environnement. So I've been thinking at something : is there any way to launched a command line in a postinst script which could get the name of the user who asked for the package installation (before he/she got root) ? I've been thinking at something like : su -c $USERwhoLAUNCHEDtheINSTALLATIONofTHEpackage "gsettings ... .." ?

Installing "straight-live" of a theme package
Hi, (Debian 8 updated here.) I've done a theme for Mate and I'm packaging it. So, I've done a package which first, installs all the files under /usr/share/theme/mytheme. This part is OK and I can choose my theme in mate. Now, I've been working (and reading a lot about) on how to install it: 1) as a default theme (then any new user will get it by default) 2) "straight-live" which mean that mate automagically will switch to it when installing the package For 1), I added a debian/mythemepackage.gconf-defaults in order to make it used by dh_gconf, with those lines (amongst some others for additionnal little tweakings) : /org/mate/Marco/general/theme 'mytheme' /org/mate/background/picture-filename '/usr/share/backgrounds/mytheme/mybackgroundpicture.png' /org/mate/interface/gtk-theme 'mytheme' The package installation puts a file under /usr/share/gconf/defaults/10_mypackagetheme , but it doesn't work as I expected. I still have to manually change the theme for it to take effect even after a reboot or/and after creating a new user. For 2), I've been trying in a mate-terminal (while mate is running) with those command lines : gsettings set org.mate.Marco.general theme 'mytheme' gsettings set org.mate.background picture-filename '/usr/share/backgrounds/mytheme/mybackgroundpicture.png' gsettings set org.mate.interface gtk-theme 'mytheme' and it does work this way. Then I did put those lines into a postinst script in my package, and I was disapointed because it doesn't work. I've been wondering why for 3 days till I did the test to run those command as root (since the postinst script is ran under root) and did find that those command lines does not work when ran as root as confirmed by this error message : "(process:3192): dconf-WARNING **: failed to commit changes to dconf: The connection is closed". I'm a bit lost and feeling like a fish in front of a trampoline. I've been trying things I knew, I've been reading quite a lot about gconf/gsettings, I've trying to look at the debian mate theme packages sources (in the hope to find a solution). Any help and/or direction would be appreciated. Thanks for reading, Olivier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
