Where are the configuration files that correspond to the system settings menu stored?

  • 772

In 14.04, I want to make a copy of my system settings (specifically my display), so that I can copy it into a virtual machine and have everything be the same every time I break and reinstall my sandbox system. All I really want to know is where are these config files located by default?

    Ah. I understand and sympathize. My solution to this problem is as follows:

    1. Install a new ubuntu in the VM, with a suitable name.
    2. Make a copy of the entire directory of the VM.
    3. Screw around with the running VM until it breaks
    4. Restore my copy of the clean vm...
