Chapter 16. Configuring GNOME to store user settings on home directories hosted on an NFS share If you use GNOME on a system with home directories hosted on an NFS server, you must change the keyfile backend of the dconf database. Otherwise, dconf might not work correctly. This change affects all users on the host because it changes how dconf manages user settings and configurations stored in the home directories. Procedure Add the following line to the beginning of the /etc/dconf/profile/user file. If the file does not exist, create it. With this setting, dconf polls the keyfile back end to determine whether updates have been made, so settings might not be updated immediately. The changes take effect when the users logs out and in.
