gnomeconf2gdm can't change cursor theme (on some systems)

[Anifyuli]

Hello, Bro Hussain. I found issue again on gnomeconf2gdm. This feature can't change my cursor theme in gdm. I try to change /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/99_manjaro-settings.gschema.override and nothing happened.

If you have spare times, please fix that bug. Thanks for your hard works.

Did you install that cursor theme in your $HOME folder? If yes, then that is the problem.

If you do not know where that theme was installed, check $HOME/.icons and $HOME/.local/share/icons folders.

Solution: Move your theme from whereever it is installed to /usr/share/icons

And yes, cursor themes are installed in 'icons' folder.

[Anifyuli]

No, I install Volantes from AUR, Bro. And thats cursor theme located in /usr/share/icons

[realmazharhussain]

I need you to do following things

1. Tell me what package you use; volantes-cursors, or volantes-cursors-git?
2. Tell the output of the command sudo ls -R ~gdm/.config/dconf Note: it is ~gdm not ~/gdm
3. Create a zip file of your /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d directory and send it to me Note: If you want to send via email, send it to realmazharhussain@gmail.com

[realmazharhussain]

Sorry for being so late to reply. I only have limited data and I've been having problems with my data connection

[Anifyuli]

1. Bro @realmazharhussain, I install volantes-cursors-git from AUR

2. Output from sudo ls -R ~gdm/.config/dconf command

     /var/lib/gdm/.config/dconf:
     user

3. This files what you want to see it gdm.d.zip

4. For your reply, I feel thanksfull and no problem with everything. I'm sure I not angry with you, hahahaha

[realmazharhussain]

I can't figure out the problem. If I ever have any idea, I will let you know.

By the way, Do other cursor themes have the same problem or just volantes?

All my cursor theme can't apply with gnomeconf2gdm. Sorry for late reply, my laptop has a problem recently

[realmazharhussain]

Sorry for late reply

No need

[realmazharhussain]

Run these commands

sudo rm /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/10-cursor-settings
gnomeconf2gdm

And let me know if it works

[realmazharhussain]

If you are still having this problem, you can try out the new Login Manager Settings app.

And if that doesn't work either then may be it is a permission issue.
