hello party people
i switched to endeavour yesterday after 2 years of vanilla arch and went with gnome at install
turns out its not the stock gnome im used to which i expected for some reason
can someone give guidance on how to completely remove the de and reinstall it with default settings?
thanks
Try this:
First make a full backup of the current state of your desktop with:
dconf dump / > desktop-full-backup
Make sure that a file named desktop-full-backup is really created. Run ls and/or cat desktop-full-backup to view its content.
Remove this package: eos-settings-gnome
sudo pacman -R eos-settings-gnome
Now you can reset all the desktop configurations with:
dconf reset -f /
Please note that this command doesn’t reset just Gnome desktop settings, but also any application that stores its settings using dconf.
See if you can build things up from there.
You could always restore the settings to what was before:
sudo pacman -S eos-settings-gnome
dconf load -f / < desktop-full-backup
Yup, did the job, thanks
only to add… you can simply deselect the settings package inside installer packages screenn after the DE selection:
