Re: System Configuration Commands
I mean the commands to configure the system like changing the time, user login details and others that could be changed as well.

Honestly most Mint users use the graphical interface for things like that.jessy_1308 wrote: ⤴Sun Oct 17, 2021 12:54 am I mean the commands to configure the system like changing the time, user login details and others that could be changed as well.
If your issue is solved, kindly indicate that by editing the first post in the topic, and adding [SOLVED] to the title. Thanks!
Re: System Configuration Commands
You may find such a thing won't probably work because there are too many infos you won't ever need and you won't be willing to spend time to read them.jessy_1308 wrote: ⤴Sun Oct 17, 2021 12:54 am I mean the commands to configure the system like changing the time, user login details and others that could be changed as well.
If Moem's advice doesn't suit you because you want to include these commands in a script for example, perform a search on the web e.g. "linux mint change time command line" and see what's being suggested. If nothing fits, enhance the search by replacing mint with "ubuntu" if you use the standard version and with "debian" if you use LMDE.
Create a database of all the commands that match your needs (LO Writer with title hierarchy is a nice tool to do this kind of job because it's easy to build an index from it, even if a hierarchy organizer like Cherry Tree suits better for me).
dual boot LMDE4 (mostly) + LM19.3 Cinnamon (sometimes)

gsettings
first from the manual, then on the web. Can't help more because you didn't mention your DE (Cinnamon, Mate or XFCE). However, as an illustration giving some ground to my purpose :
Code: Select all
gsettings list-recursively org.cinnamon.sounds
Any of these properties can be set in CLI with a "simple"
gsettings set
if you know what you're doing.If you're "cinnamoned", the
cinnamon-settings
command as explained here by karlchen could also provide some help :viewtopic.php?t=174985
