I've installed Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS and Gnome. For Gnome I've installed the following extension. https://github.com/windsorschmidt/disable-workspace-switcher-popup Works fine after setting the enabled Button to true via "Extension" GUI.

But I need to automatize this process without manual user interaction. Where is the information if the button is enabled or disabled, stored? I found this thread: Where are gnome extensions preferences stored?

But if I look for changes via dconf watch / nothing happens. Additionally I can't find any appropriate key for via dconf-editor.

Any Help there? Would be awesome!

  • surely if you install the extension through Extension Manager and select the extension on it is persistent? – graham Dec 20 '22 at 15:55
  • I didnt installed the extension via extension manager. For sure its persistent after manual switching. But my goal is an automated installation, so i cant switch it manualy. The "on" setting must be saved anywhere, thats the point im trying to get. – Hilze Dec 20 '22 at 17:57

It's stored in GSettings, use dconf (commandline) or dconf-editor (GUI) to see/edit them.

List your extensions:

dconf list /org/gnome/shell/extensions/

Dump the config of the extension:

dconf dump  /org/gnome/shell/extensions/fooextension/

Set one config value to 30:

dconf write /org/gnome/shell/extensions/fooextension/barvalue 30
