Cannot change greeter colour

Ask Fedora
1

Couple of years back I have had this problem with a certain extension.

While the problem itself has been solved, while in an attempt to solve the problem I have ran this command which have set my greeter colour to red (which does not affect the system while I am logged in).

sudo machinectl shell gdm@ $(which gsettings) set org.gnome.desktop.interface accent-color “red”

In an attempt to solve this I have reset dconf, which didn’t affect the greeter colour.

I have also ran this

sudo machinectl shell gdm@ $(which gsettings) reset org.gnome.desktop.interface accent-color

getting this in response

Connected to the local host. Press ^] three times within 1s to exit session.

(process:265941): dconf-WARNING **: 07:17:34.520: failed to commit changes to dconf: Cannot autolaunch D-Bus without X11 $DISPLAY
Connection to the local host terminated.

Please keep in mind I am a complete noob. Any help is really appreciated

Hi! Ran both, didn’t seem to change anything so far.

Check this:

run0 -u gdm gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.interface accent-color
run0 -u gdm gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface accent-color
run0 find /etc/dconf /usr/share/dconf -type f | sort

I made for a buddy of mine, when he wanted to do the same thing but on Ubuntu.

You can use any local or cloud llm if you don’t feel like your ready to jump into bash scripts but if you do use them make sure you tell it explain the script to you line by line cause copying and pasting a round script from a robot isn’t a great idea.

Hopefully this helps in some way.
