dconf-editor doesn't work on Debian 10 gnome

#1 Post by Chiefahol2 »

Trying to disable auto mounting in gnome, dconf-editor refuses to let me edit values though?

https://unix.stackexchange.com/question ... -in-gnome3

Code: Select all

In dconf-editor go to org > gnome > desktop > media-handling and turn off both
automount and automount-open
I press the switch on the righthand side to disable it... nothing!

I double click it and another menu opens, with a 'Use default value' switch and 'Custom value' section. Setting 'Use default value' to false unlocks the 'Custom value section'. I set it to 'False' then click the tick button in the bottom right corner that says 'The change will be applied on such request or if you quit this view.'. It changes back instantly so i am still unable to change these values. :|

How does one use dconf-editor on Debian Buster? (gnome)

The "tick" button? Or do you mean the "Apply" button?

GUIs are for suckers:

Code: Select all

E485:~$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.media-handling automount
true
E485:~$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.media-handling automount-open
true
E485:~$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.media-handling automount false
E485:~$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.media-handling automount-open false
E485:~$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.media-handling automount            
false
E485:~$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.media-handling automount-open       
false
E485:~$

It was a green tick symbol in the bottom right corner. I assume it meant 'apply'.
