Guake: Where's the settings ?

[stehgold]

Hi,
don't you love when updates break things...

I had green text on a black background now it's white on black. I want green on black but where are the settings ? Right-click doesn't help and looking for guake-preferences shows nothing.

What happened to "Don't fix if it's not broken" ?

[gsemet]

please execute the following command in your system:

sudo apt get uninstall guake

this will not break anything important, do not worry. Just don't use guake if you do not like it.

And if it is to say that there is not more "Guake Preferences" link in the app menu, just open a ticket saying "No more preference link in desktop".

Gnome 3 under ubuntu 17.10 does not seem to like X-GNOME-PersonalSettings anymore

I lost all my config too when updading from 0.8.12 to 3.0.2.

I reverted back to 0.8.12 and all is working fine again.

I'm on Arch Linux and I use the official package.

[gsemet]

normally guake 0.8 already supported gsettings. But you can easily rebuild your configuration with the preference panel.

[desbma]

You mean there is now way to import the 0.8.x config without setting everything manually again in the GUI of 3.0.x version?

[gsemet]

is it such a big deal?

[desbma]

Guake is free software so I can't complain. But it is annoying enough so that I would clearly consider it a bug though.
Isn't it possible to just automatically migrate between the old and new settings storage format like most software do?

[gsemet]

normaly the format hasn't changed, we switched to dconf some releases ago so the update should work. If it isn't, i guess it is either the package that performs a dconf -reset /apps/guake, or you used, indirectly make reset target. But it is not a "main" feature to ensure the config stay between 0.8 and 3.0, given the huge among of internal reworks we've done last month

Okay, so prefs vanish due to the move from gconf to dconf, that's fine - irritating, but fine.
The problem is there does not seem to be a way to _change_ the current settings like there was previously (guake-preferences).

What is the expected way of modifying the preferences for guake 3.x?

You're probably confused because of https://github.com/Guake/guake/commit/6992344667aa0dbac145725d89cac445983814ab#diff-39f8b7caa8c9b7050798d9834c0311d1

"OnlyShowIn=GNOME;"

[es02]

Yeah, thats a suitably daft change.
No wonder it appears broken.

[gsemet]

If someone can do the pr to add the link for pref i will accept it. But Ubuntu has changed and will probably change again (gnome as well?).
You can still do guake -p anyway
