How to backup guake's settings

  • 772

I've worked a lot on configuring guake to my needs but I can't find a way to export these changes (doesn't seem to be related to gnome-terminal's profiles). Is there a way to backup my "guake profile" and then restore it in another pc?

    Luckily you don't need to be an expert on dconf anymore:

    guake --restore-preferences ~/myguakeprefs 
guake --save-preferences ~/myguakeprefs

    OUTDATED please check the new answer that includes --restore-preferences and --save-preferences

    Backing up gconf /apps/guake and /schemas/apps/guake paths recursively.

    Backup

    gconftool-2 --dump /apps/guake > apps-guake.xml
gconftool-2 --dump /schemas/apps/guake > schemas-apps-guake.xml

    Restore

    gconftool-2 --load apps-guake.xml
gconftool-2 --load schemas-apps-guake.xml

    Plus backing up directory ~/.gconf/apps/guake should do it.
