I have customized Unity in Ubuntu 14.04 quite heavily on my laptop. Now I have also installed Ubuntu on my desktop machine and I want to reuse the config file.

I have customized it with unity-teak-tool and ccsm. ccsm has the option to export a config file but this crashed Ubuntu on my desktop machine.

How can I transfer my Unity settings from my laptop to my desktop machine?

On the command line you can use

dconf dump /org/compiz/profiles/unity/ > ccsm.cfg

to save the settings from CCSM into ccsm.cfg and restore them using

dconf load /org/compiz/profiles/unity/ < ccsm.cfg

For the setting from unity-teak-tool it depends on what you changed there as different settings are stored on different places.

Unsettings is another configuration tool for Unity (written by me) that lets you save your settings into and load from a file. It doesn't support all the options that unity-tweak-tools has, but maybe it has the ones you need.
