The module is implemented as a wrapper around C(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). requirements: - Optionally the C(gi.repository) Python library (usually included in the OS on hosts which have C(dconf)); this will become a non-optional requirement in a future major release of community.general. 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. - This module uses the C(gi.repository) Python library when available for accurate comparison of values in C(dconf) to values specified in Ansible code. C(gi.repository) is likely to be present on most systems which have C(dconf) but may not be present everywhere. When it is missing, a simple string comparison between values is used, and there may be false positives, that is, Ansible may think that a value is being changed when it is not. This fallback will be removed in a future version of this module, at which point the module will stop working on hosts without C(gi.repository). - 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 I(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). extends_documentation_fragment: - community.general.attributes attributes: check_mode: support: full diff_mode: support: none options: key: type: str required: true description: - A dconf key to modify or read from the dconf database. value: type: raw 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 I(state=present). - Although the type is specified as "raw", it should typically be specified as a string. However, boolean values in particular are handled properly even when specified as booleans rather than strings (in fact, handling booleans properly is why the type of this parameter is "raw"). state: type: str required: false default: present choices: [ 'read', 'present', 'absent' ] description: - The action to take upon the key/value.
