Find gnome dconf default value through command line
by elmehalawi from LinuxQuestions.org on (#54R9X)
Using gsettings, it's possible to list all values in the dconf database like this:
Code:gsettings list-recursivelyThis shows all current values. There's also a way to reset a value to its default. For example:
Code:gettings reset org.gnome.desktop.datetime automatic-timezoneIs there a way to find this default without changing it? I know I could do something hacky like read the value, reset it, then read again and see if it changed. But I'd prefer not to do that. Is there a cleaner way to do this?
