ansible-gsetting
Ansible module for setting GSettings entries.
See also ansible-dconf.
Installation
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jistr/ansible-gsetting/master/gsetting.py > ~/ansible_dir/library/gsetting
Usage examples
- name: do not remember mount password
gsetting:
user: jistr
settings:
org.gnome.shell.remember-mount-password: false
org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings.panel-main-menu: "@as []"
org.gnome.nautilus.preferences.default-folder-viewer: "'list-view'"
If you want to run Ansible as the user you want to adjust settings
for, you should omit the user parameter:
- name: shortcut panel-main-menu
gsetting:
settings:
org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings.panel-main-menu: "@as []"
Be careful with string values, which should be passed into GSetting single-quoted. You'll need to quote the value twice in YAML:
- name: nautilus use list view
gsetting:
user: jistr
settings:
org.gnome.nautilus.preferences.default-folder-viewer: "'list-view'"
- name: nautilus list view columns
gsetting:
user: jistr
settings:
org.gnome.nautilus.list-view.default-visible-columns: "['name', 'size', 'date_modified', 'permissions', 'owner', 'group']"
