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
            key=org.gnome.shell.remember-mount-password
            value=false

- name: shortcut panel-main-menu
  gsetting: user=jistr
            key=org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings.panel-main-menu
            value="@as []"

Or explicitly define schema and key instead of using dash to seperate them, useful when the schema name includeds dashes.

- name: do not remember mount password
  gsetting: user=jistr
            schema=org.gnome.shell.remember
            key=mount-password
            value=false

- name: change dash to dock klick action
  gsetting: user=jistr
            schema=org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock
            key=click-action
            value="previews"

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
            key=org.gnome.nautilus.preferences.default-folder-viewer
            value="'list-view'"

- name: nautilus list view columns
  gsetting: user=jistr
            key=org.gnome.nautilus.list-view.default-visible-columns
            value="['name', 'size', 'date_modified', 'permissions', 'owner', 'group']"
