Headless configuration of Xubuntu 22.04: gsettings

UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

I am configuring a Xubuntu 22.04 (LTS) machine headlessly and issuing the following commands to change the system-wide font:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface font-name 'Noto Sans 6'
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface monospace-font-name 'Monospace 6'

But these have no effect:

appearance-font
appearance-font1010×632 80.9 KB

Also tried with:

dbus-launch --exit-with-session gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface font-name 'Noto Sans 9'
dbus-launch --exit-with-session gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface monospace-font-name 'Monospace 9'

It appears that org.gnome.desktop does not allow changes to settings, but for example org.xfce.mousepad.preferences.view does. How do I make changes to org.gnome.desktop.interface headlessly?

hi,

what command(s) are you running to make said changes ? (dconf editor?)

you may want to explore the documentation

seems customisation is less trivial than one may 'like'

NB: I am not a gnome user ...ergo E&OA :smiley:
