Hi,
I am trying to erase everything in Evolution and start it over as if
I
had just installed Fedora and Evolution
I asked on Reddit and I got this far:
I was able to do:
rm -rf ~/.config/evolution
rm -rf ~/.local/share/evolution
rm -rf ~/.cache/evolution
But when I get to:
dconf reset /org/gnome/evolution/
is where the trouble starts...
I can't get this command to work:
[chris@fedora ~]$ sudo dconf -f reset /org/gnome/evolution/
[sudo] password for chris:
error: unknown command -f
Usage:
dconf COMMAND [ARGS...]
Commands:
help Show this information
read Read the value of a key
list List the contents of a dir
write Change the value of a key
reset Reset the value of a key or dir
compile Compile a binary database from keyfiles
update Update the system databases
watch Watch a path for changes
dump Dump an entire subpath to stdout
load Populate a subpath from stdin
Use 'dconf help COMMAND' to get detailed help.
[chris@fedora ~]$ sudo dconf reset /org/gnome/evolution/ -f
error: -f must be given to (recursively) reset entire directories
Usage:
dconf reset [-f] PATH
Reset a key or dir. -f is required for dirs.
Arguments:
PATH Either a KEY or DIR
KEY A key path (starting, but not ending with '/')
DIR A directory path (starting and ending with '/')
[chris@fedora ~]$
Any ideas on what I should do?
Hi,
Never tried to do this, but could be argument position issue:
it says:
... reset [-f] PATH ...
But you only tried `-f` before `reset` and after `PATH`, not after
`reset` and before `PATH`, `-f` is an argument to `reset` and maybe
position dependent.
