How can I read GSettings values from a filesystem backup?
Solution 1:
Suggested by a community member in the GNOME IRC channel:
- Copy the old
~/.config/dconf/userto/tmp/dconf/user. -
Export the data to a human-readable format:
XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/tmp dconf dump / > old-gsettings-data.txt Optionally edit the data in a text editor and load it into the current database with
dconf load.
