The module is implemented as a wrapper around dconf tool. Please see the dconf(1) man page for more details. - Since C(dconf) requires a running D-Bus session to change values, the module will try to detect an existing session and reuse it, or run the tool via C(dbus-run-session). notes: - This module depends on C(psutil) Python library (version 4.0.0 and upwards), C(dconf), C(dbus-send), and C(dbus-run-session) binaries. Depending on distribution you are using, you may need to install additional packages to have these available. - Detection of existing, running D-Bus session, required to change settings via C(dconf), is not 100% reliable due to implementation details of D-Bus daemon itself. This might lead to running applications not picking-up changes on the fly if options are changed via Ansible and C(dbus-run-session). - Keep in mind that the C(dconf) CLI tool, which this module wraps around, utilises an unusual syntax for the values (GVariant). For example, if you wanted to provide a string value, the correct syntax would be C(value="'myvalue'") - with single quotes as part of the Ansible parameter value. - When using loops in combination with a value like :code:`"[('xkb', 'us'), ('xkb', 'se')]"`, you need to be aware of possible type conversions. Applying a filter :code:`"{{ item.value | string }}"` to the parameter variable can avoid potential conversion problems. - The easiest way to figure out exact syntax/value you need to provide for a key is by making the configuration change in application affected by the key, and then having a look at value set via commands C(dconf dump /path/to/dir/) or C(dconf read /path/to/key). options: key: type: str required: true description: - A dconf key to modify or read from the dconf database. value: type: str required: false description: - Value to set for the specified dconf key. Value should be specified in GVariant format. Due to complexity of this format, it is best to have a look at existing values in the dconf database. Required for C(state=present). state: type: str required: false default: present choices: - read - present - absent description: - The action to take upon the key/value.
