Note the quotes in this section of the playbook-you must always use two single-quotes in dconf values, and you must also include double-quotes if the value is a string.

In this case, we adjusted the /org/gnome/desktop/background/picture-uri key and set it equal to file:///home/jay/.wallpaper.jpg. In the next play, we used the dconf module to change GNOME settings. If you'd prefer not to have this file in the root of your home directory, you can always instruct this section to copy it somewhere else-it will still work as long as you refer to it at the correct place. Next, we used the copy module to copy the wallpaper file to our home directory, and we named the resulting file starting with a period to hide it. If we don't add this, we can't use the dconf module, since it requires this package to be installed before we can modify GNOME settings.

First, we added a play to install the python-psutil package. Let's take a moment to go through what the new GNOME taskbook does. If everything ran correctly, you should see your new wallpaper. (You may recall that we automated this in the previous article.) If you're in a hurry, you can apply the configuration immediately with the following command: sudo ansible-pull -U Once you've completed those steps and pushed your changes back to the repository, the configuration should be automatically applied during its next scheduled run.

Created a files directory inside the tasks directory, with an image file named wallpaper.jpg (or whatever you chose to call it).

Created the tasks/gnome.yml playbook with the content mentioned above.

Modified the local.yml file to refer to the tasks/gnome.yml playbook.

To recap, you should've completed the following: Once you've made all these changes, commit everything to your repository, and push those changes.

If you're not feeling creative, I have an example wallpaper file in the repository for this article series that you can use.

Find a wallpaper image you like, name it wallpaper.jpg, and place it inside the files directory. If the file is a PNG image instead of a JPG, change the file extension in both the code and in the repository. Inside the tasks directory, create a subdirectory named files. This file must exist or the Ansible configuration will fail. In the example tasks, I referred to a file named wallpaper.jpg inside the files directory. The entire file should now look like this: Add the following line to it: - include: tasks/gnome.yml In the root of the repository, you should have a file named local.yml.

Set a wallpaper and lock screenįirst, we'll create a taskbook to hold our GNOME settings. If you haven't already, download the repository you've been using in those first two articles. If you're using a newer version of your Linux distribution, you should have no issues.īefore you begin, make sure you've worked through parts one and two of this series, as part three builds upon that groundwork. Older versions of Ubuntu will not work, as they ship with a version of python-psutils that is too old for Ansible's dconf module to work properly. This configuration will work only on newer distributions (such as Ubuntu 18.04, which I'll use in my examples). In this third (and final) article, we'll use Ansible to configure GNOME desktop settings. In the second part, we automated Ansible to apply settings automatically when changes are made to our repository. In the first article of this series on using Ansible to configure a workstation, we set up a repository and configured a few basic things.
