Chapter 16. Configuring GNOME to store user settings on home directories hosted on an NFS share
If you use GNOME on a system with home directories hosted on an NFS server, you must change the keyfile
backend of the dconf
database. Otherwise, dconf
might not work correctly.
This change affects all users on the host because it changes how dconf
manages user settings and configurations stored in the home directories.
Procedure
Add the following line to the beginning of the
/etc/dconf/profile/user
file. If the file does not exist, create it.service-db:keyfile/user
With this setting,
dconf
polls thekeyfile
back end to determine whether updates have been made, so settings might not be updated immediately.- The changes take effect when the users logs out and in.
