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

# Embed the schema in the key - name: turn off hot corners gsetting: user: jistr key: org.gnome.desktop.interface.enable-hot-corners value: "{{'false'|string}}" # Specify the schema separately - name: turn off hot corners gsetting: user: jistr schema: org.gnome.desktop.interface key: enable-hot-corners value: "{{'false'|string}}" # Use a relocatable schema - name: set custom key binding gsetting: user: jistr schema: org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys.custom-keybinding path: /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom0/ settings: name: Flameshot binding: Print command: flameshot gui - 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']"
