I am using gconftool to set a number of parameters up automatically... However, the one parameter I cannot find is under root you should be able to set the "automatic login" on first boot up. This found under "Applications", "System settings", "Login screen", then automatic log...

I centos 5 I can run this command: su myuser -c "/usr/bin/gconftool-2 -t string --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename /usr/share/backgrounds/images/mypic.png" and this works fine. under centos 6 it does not appear to be working... I can run the similiar --get command and it tells me its set to what I asked for. However the screen is not showing...

...owever, I've made it possible to have the opacity fade from opaque to the selected opacity value in a similar way to how the built-in decorations look. This usually looks a lot better. I'll add a schema file for gwd sometime soon but you'll have to manually add the gconf keys for now: gconftool-2 -s /apps/gwd/metacity_theme_opacity -t float 0.75 gconftool-2 -s /apps/gwd/metacity_theme_shade_opacity -t bool TRUE gconftool-2 -s /apps/gwd/metacity_theme_active_opacity -t float 0.75 gconftool-2 -s /apps/gwd/metacity_theme_active_shade_opacity -t bool TRUE "active" options affects t...

I am doing the following commands to "hide" the top and bottom panels on gnome. gconftool-2 -t int --list-type int --set /apps/panel/toplevels/top_panel/auto_hide_size 0 gconftool-2 -t bool --list-type bool --set /apps/panel/toplevels/top_panel/auto_hide true gconftool-2 -t int --list-type int --set /apps/panel/toplevels/bottom_panel/auto_hide_size 0 gconf...

I am using gconftool-2 to setup exec_ats and it is not taking it? Specifially I am doing: gconftool-2 -t list --list-type string --set /desktop/gnome/accessibility/startup/exec_ats "[/home/user/myprogram]" then when I look at it in the gconf-editor nothing is there... What is it I am missing... I have ma...

on 6 the command: gconftool-2 -t bool --list-type bool --set /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/screensaver/start_screensaver false would stop the screen saver. What is it on 7. The above seems to do nothing. Also The gnome-panel process was running in 6 - it does not seem to be run in 7. How do I hide/remove the top and bottom...

Hi All, I run these commands for previous 7.2 to hide the bottom panel. gconftool-2 -t int --list-type int --set /apps/panel/toplevels/bottom_panel/auto_hide_size 0 gconftool-2 -t bool --list-type bool --set /apps/panel/toplevels/bottom_panel/auto_hide true It does not seem to be working any more... I am seeing the panel. Thoughts? Jerry

Is metacity support functionall yet ? Or I maked something wrong.

...eature' in WoW anyway, and you will notice that the issue is now fixed. Since this is slightly annoying while using other apps (e.g. when scrolling with arrow keys), I wrote a little shell script that unsets the option before starting WoW, and sets it again after quitting: Code: #!/bin/bash gconftool-2 --type bool --set /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/repeat false wine Wow.exe -opengl gconftool-2 --type bool --set /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/repeat true Save this to a new file, e.g. wow_starter, in you WoW directory (where Wow.exe is located), and give it execute permitions with...

...sh by Puppet and this script should be able to change settings like idle_delay, set customized password-protected screen saver, enabling lock etc.. I have tried below commands for Gnome and somehow the settings are not taking place. The users screensavers setting remains the same. Gnome Settings: gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory --type int --set /apps/gnome-screensaver/idle_delay 4 gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory --type boolean --set /apps/gnome-screensaver/lock_enabled true gconftool-2 --direct --conf...

I am trying to find a way to set auto login for a machine under X using the command line. I presume I want to use gconftool-2 to do that. Under the old X centos 4 I edited /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf This file no longer exists under X 7 for centos 5. I cant find a way to "show all" under gconftool-2 so that I can see what the key/value pair should be. When I do "gconftool-2 -a " it says it needs a direc...

I just did another compiz checkout and installed but now compiz won't work I'm starting compiz like this: gtk-window-decorator --replace & export __GL_YIELD="NOTHING"; compiz --replace --indirect-rendering --strict-binding --use-cow gconf move resize minimize place decoration cube rotate scale switcher zoom fade screenshot dbus This was working earlier but not anymore. Now

...I want to disable fast user switching. With CentOS 5, I simply made sure that the "user_switch_enabled" entry in /etc/gconf/schemas/gnome-screensaver.schemas was set to false. However, that doesn't work with CentOS 6. I've found various proposed solutions to this issue, such as gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory \ --type bool --set "/apps/gnome-screensaver/user_switch_enabled" "false" gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory \ --type bool --set "/desktop/gnome/lockdown/d...

Hi all, I've written a tool that configured Virtual Machine Manager, but I've got a condition that I am now sure how to handle... If the user isn't logged in and I configure their ~/.gconf/apps/virt-manager/*, and then they log in, everything works great. However, if they've already logged in and there was no prior virt-manager configuration, the custom config is overwritten

I would like to have my lab workstations logout a session after the person has been idle for a certain period of time. After some searching on the web, I got into /etc/gconf/schemas/gnome-session.schemas and set the default value of max_idle_action to ?forced-logout?: <schema> <key>/schemas/desktop/gnome/session/max_idle_action</key>

I uncheck only Allow other users ?view? and leave without change ?control? your desktop, and the screen (active session) remain freeze, close the connection and now i can not do a new connection, i remain out. i must wait the next Monday when i back to office or i can do something through ssh?

In CentOS5 you were able to create a server section in /etc/gdm/custom.conf such as [server-Standard] name=Standard server command=/usr/bin/Xorg -br -audit 4 -s 15 chooser=false handled=true flexible=true priority=0 After this change, Xorg would run with the -br -audit 4 -s 15 options. Unfortunately in CentOS6 this is not the case. It completely ignores anything put into custom.conf as far

...d of time. After some searching on the web, I got into > > /etc/gconf/schemas/gnome-session.schemas So, I?ve found that if you want to enforce gconf policies for workstations, you need to put them in /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory. For example, this is how we set the screensaver to lock: gconftool-2 --direct \ --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory \ --type bool \ --set /apps/gnome-screensaver/idle_activation_enabled true gconftool-2 --direct \ --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory \ --type bool \ --set /apps/gnome-screensaver/lock_enabled true gc...

In CentOS 6 gconftool-2 (command line) is used to enable/disable items. In CentOS 7 I found "settings->power-> blank screen" as something I wish to configure by the command line? How is that accomplished? I brought up gconf-editor and searched for power and blank and found nothing. How can I control...
