Hi, I wonder where - and eventually how - GNOME 3 stores its user preferences. I'd like to create a custom user profile, with slightly different settings than the default ones: * don't show home folder on ~/Desktop * don't show Trash * use custom default wallpaper * stretch wallpaper instead of zooming * use different default icon theme * etc. Until now I've done this

under Centos 6, dconf -o ./outfile it will copy and combine all the .conf files to outfile. under Centos 7, is there any similar command will do the same things ? thanks, philip.

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 this setting from the command line? Thanks Jerry

I'm part of a small but very motivated team in France, working on accessibility; you might have already exchanged some messages with my colleagues Jean-Philippe Mengual, Ksamak and Raphaël Poitevin.

Installing CentOS 6 on a lab full of workstations, and 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

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

Hello, how can I disable user list that has been logged, at least, one time into X environment in Gnome running Centos 7? Thanks.

In the TODO file there's a discussion of perhaps writing a new 'virt-customize' tool. I think it's probably better (or at any rate, easier) to just add this functionality into virt-sysprep. That is what this small series of patches aims to achieve. Note these are not very well tested at the moment. The first patch adds a generic and useful '--firstboot' flag. The

How can I remove the four items on screen? Applications, Places home trash from the command line? I'd prefer to remove the top panel and bottom panel all together if possible, but they can stay - I just don't want anything showing on the screen. searched all around for kiosk mode gnome3 etc.. not finding anything good for CentOS7. Was able to do this in CentOS 6 can't believe they

On Centos 6 - how do you disable the control-alt-delete function in GNOME? Editing /etc/init/control-alt-delete.conf works for console mode but not for GNOME. Thanks, Jerry

I've looked around in the menus and googled this, but I can't find a way to make the login require a username instead of just showing the available users to select from. ?Where do I change this? ?I'm using CentOS 6.5. Thanks, -wes

Hi Friends, I am trying to configure screensavers settings on Gnome and KDE running Centos 5.x 32-bit environment. I need to prepare a script which will be push 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

My desktop environment has become a little chaotic, and, long story short, I would like to uninstall KDE and Gnome, and then reinstall Gnome. (I want to remove KDE for the time being because I just don't think I want it taking up space on my hard drive). The thing is, I don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. For instance, I want to make sure I don't lose settings in

Hello there! I've recently switched from Fedora 11 to CentOS6. Now my SD cards (automatically mounted on plug) contents is displayed as UPPERCASE filenames. I well see in mount's man that vfat's shortname option can be set to either lower, win95, winnt, mixed. OK, that's for entries in /etc/fstab or when mounting manually. I'd like to change the defaults for devices that

Hi, It looks like the upgrade to CentOS 7.6 has been unusually disruptive with the GNOME desktop version bump and a series of moving targets under the hood. The result is some wreckage at my client's desktop installations, which I've been busy to repair since yesterday. First things first. I have a custom configuration of GDM, which consists mainly of two things. 1. Display my
