try on your machine
The command you posted is using the gsettings
tool to reset the value of a key in a specific schema.
Here's a breakdown of each part of the command:
gsettings
: It is a command-line tool in Linux used to interact with the configuration settings (schemas) stored in the GSettings framework, which is part of GNOME.reset
: This is the action being performed bygsettings
, which resets the value of a key to its default or initial value.${org-example-schema}
: It is a placeholder for the schema name. In the actual command, you should replace${org-example-schema}
with the actual name of the schema you want to modify.${example-key}
: Similarly, it is a placeholder for the key name within the specified schema. You need to replace${example-key}
with the actual key name you want to reset.
To use this command, replace ${org-example-schema}
and ${example-key}
with the appropriate values. For example, if you have a schema named org.gnome.desktop.interface
and want to reset the cursor-theme
key, the command would be:
gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-theme
This command will reset the value of the cursor-theme
key in the org.gnome.desktop.interface
schema to its default value.
