I am creating a post-install bash script to run right after I have installed UB Budgie on any pc. The script contains mostly gsettings set commands and pulls another script to install the Office fonts. To find the right gsettings, I do the following, for example: Goal Move top-panel to left side …

[image] zilexa: Is there a uniquely generated string for each panel? yes This example python code iterates through each panel and sets the key in each panel - for example “size” UbuntuBudgie/budgie-welcome/blob/master/budgie-welcome#L761 systemstate.…

You can’t get a “layout text file” from the current panel - well not easily without some-sort of in-depth bash scraping and fiddling.

Sudo isn’t needed, that’d do it for root.

duh, that was stupid of me. I’m trying to do this for the current user. It works but I still see all those error messages. Worse, it seems something goes wrong when the Network applet is used.
