No value set for `/apps/gedit-2/preferences/editor/wrap_mode/wrap_mode'

These tools are outdated and work only for GNOME 2 :(

So please if anybody has some info how to enable GNOME 3 settings
while building GNOME 3 Fedora Remix please share that info.

Cheers,
Valent.

How to set custom GNOME 3 settings for Fedora Remix?

[Hedayat Vatankhah]

Hi Valent,

You should use 'gsettings' if you want to change gnome 3 settings 
running a command. I think you'll be able to find some hints about any 
specific change in Internet. Also, you can look in gnome-tweak-tool's 
source code to see which settings does it touch. You can change the same 
settings using gsettings command.

Regards,

Hedayat

How to set custom GNOME 3 settings for Fedora Remix?

[Valent Turkovic]

Hi,
I know about gsettings command and I used it all the time to
experiment with look & feel of my personal desktop, the issue whti
gsettings it that is changes your current GNOME 3 settings and that
doesn't work when you are building an iso image for installation that
has no currently running GNOME 3.

I used gconftool-2 to edit defautl GNOME 2 schemes that would be used
on freshly installed systems, and I can't seam to find the parallel
way of editing default GNOME 3 schemas because gsetting command AFAIK
can't do that.

if you know how to change and edit with gsetting in preinstall
environment when livecd-creator is building iso image please share
your knowledge.

Thanks.

How to set custom GNOME 3 settings for Fedora Remix?

[Hedayat Vatankhah]

Hi Valent,

OK, for that purpose you should use schema override files. Some info is 
available here: http://live.gnome.org/dconf/SystemAdministrators


Additionally, you can look into the parsidora-conf package in Parsidora 
repository[1] which has some examples.

How to set custom GNOME 3 settings for Fedora Remix?

[Valent Turkovic]

Thank you a lot, that helped immensely!

I got the idea how GNOME 3 and schemes work, but still can't make it
work via kickstat file in %post
Ideas are simple enough but I guess that I'm using it nobody expected to ;)

I guess that I have to run "dbus-launch glib-compile-schemas" instead
just "glib-compile-schemas" when running it from %post part of
kicstart file...

Will report back, but this was the info I was looking for, than you once more.

How to set custom GNOME 3 settings for Fedora Remix?

[Hedayat Vatankhah]

:) You're welcome. However, why don't you just create an RPM package for 
your configurations (like mine) instead of applying the changes from 
%post? IMHO, that is actually a better approach too.

Hedayat

It looks like I'll have to do it that way, I found no other way to do it.

Do you have any tips for rapidly creating rpm packages? For me it was
to much work for each single change in any file that is part of rpm
file doing the whole dance - updating minor version in .spec file,
adding text on what changed, repackaging it...

Are you using any automating tools to do your packages?

Is there Koji for Fedora remixers?

Not really, I just use git and mock. I guess that's the price you pay
for doing it the right way. I don't think that you're forced to put in a
comment if you do a minor build update, i.e. 1%{?dist}.1 (as opposed to
2%{?dist}).

Not yet that I know of - Rahul and I discussed the idea some time back
but nothing has come of it AFAIK. Would take some hefty community
resources/sponsorship. You might be able to use openSUSE's build service
though?

Just a small tip: you can use rpmdev-bumpspec to update .spec files 
release number and adding a new comment to its %changelog section. You 
probably can create a small script file to do more automated work.
