location of terminal profiles


Hi,

under the standard terminal in Fedora 22 (Gnome) I set up a few different profiles

Quote:
edit->preferences->profiles
I would like to back up these profiles but I do not know where to find them! Internet searches tend to point me at ubuntu. Could someone please point me in the right direction in Fedora.

Thanks

Hi timl,

Take a look at /usr/share/gnome/ or gnome-control-center and at your home hidden files ~/.gconf/apps/
Probably a folder like gnome-terminal/profiles inside these directories contains the files you are looking for(maybe .theme?).
Hope this helps.

Thanks electovalent,

unfortunately I dont have .gconf under my home directory but I will search on that directory and /usr/share shows a multitude of possibilities which I will search

NEGATIVE. Your terminal prefs are in, or "under" ~/.config/ or ~/.gconf/
Don't mess with /usr/share

It'd help if we knew which terminal you have installed.
If rpm still is a valid fedora command, run this:
Code:
rpm -qa | grep terminal
and show is the output.

Hi, terminal info as follows:

Quote:

I have attached a copy of .config in case anything springs out:

Quote:
[tim@lizard ~]$ ls -a .config/
. evolution hexchat rabbitvcs
.. gconf ibus sealert.conf
abrt geany libreoffice Thunar
autostart gedit libreoffice1 tint2
cinnamon-session gnome-initial-setup-done libreofficedev totem
dconf gnome-session menus user-dirs.dirs

[tim@lizard ~]$ ls -a .config/gconf/
. ..
Cheers
