[SOLVED] Cannot change GSettings in any way!

horgh · 2011-08-05 06:28:56

Hi, I have a huge problem. I cannot change any GSetting value as normal user. I tried dconf-editor, just can't change anything. I tried gsettings from terminal, it doesn't show any errors, but values are not changed whatever I do. As root this all works normally.

As a workaround I have tried copying .config/dconf/user from root to user account, doesn't work.

What can I do to fix this?

my guess is that .config/dconf has the wrong permission and your user cannot change it. delete it and relogin

Thanks, but that didn't help. Have to be something else. Really annoying.

A fix was to remove .cache/dconf for some reason that was not writable for user.

Hello, I am having this issue and I deleted the .config/dconf directory but it comes coming back every time I restart my computer.
Also I don't a .cache/dconf directory.
Is there another way to fix this?
