Re: [Fedora-livecd-list] gsettings not working in kickstart

[James Heather]

Isn't this a per-user setting? If so, running it like that in your
kickstart file won't help: it gets run as root, so it'll just change
root's settings.

You'd need to run this as the right user. So you'd want

  su liveuser gsettings ...

(or whatever the right user is). But this also might run into trouble if
that user's home directory hasn't yet been created. I think it gets
created in a script called livesys (or similar) that's written out by
the kickstart file. So you'd probably want to add that line to the end
of the livesys script.
