Not Working on Ubuntu
Same case as #40, but I'm on Ubuntu. Even created a new separate profile didn't help.
Ubuntu: 16.04
Yeah I just installed in Ubuntu 16.04, and I'm having an issue as well. I successfully changed the color theme when I installed using this method:
$ wget -O xt http://git.io/v3D4o && chmod +x xt && ./xt && rm xt
But when I installed the script for changing between themes it doesn't change the theme after executing.
Its creating new profiles in gnome terminal ubuntu gnome 16.04 it will change theme when we change profile
I guess the solution is here but i can't figure out. https://github.com/Anthony25/gnome-terminal-colors-solarized
@rahilwazir gnome-terminal-colors-solarized is working and change the color scheme. I'm reviewing the code to see what approach they are using.
restarting the terminal (i had one single session at that time) seemed to help in my case. no additional profile creation was needed. still, restarting all sessions in order to apply the theme is not really acceptable
@sferra You sure it worked on Ubuntu 16.04? I restarted all terminal sessions but didn't help
yes, i'm sure:
$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=16.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=xenial
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 16.04 LTS"
it's the ubuntu-gome flavor though. i also had a single terminal windows/tab open at the time
i withdraw my statement about "only" having to restart the terminal. new terminal profiles were created - all called "Default", which is not very helpful - with different color settings. i'm not sure how the new profile got selected because i didn't manually do that.
i'm sorry about the confusion
Installing dconf-cli solves the problem partially, it creates profiles which must be changed manually. #44
sudo apt install dconf-cli
@golinmarq ist is working, but maybe not exactly as one may expect: you have to manually choose one of the profiles it creates in order to change the terminal appearance.
Started working after installing dconf-cli but the problem of multiple Default profiles haunts me also.
Installing dconf-cli on linux mint 18 makes it work correctly but on ubuntu MATE 16.04 doesn't even create multiple Default profiles.
Maybe if change the "Default" for the theme name would be nice in the end. Create the profile and change to it after.
Works on vanilla Ubuntu 17.04.
Just reporting so there can be some datapoints :+1:
Started to work after I've added a custom Profile manually. Need further tests to clarify if it actually correlates, but this seems to be related.
Edit: I used Konsole, my bad Dx
Ubuntu 16.04, KDE/Plasma env (Maybe Kubuntu?)
Problem: Does not seem to create profiles or change color settings for the profile.
Steps taken to solve problem: Created new profile, problem persists Rebooting
Working on Ubuntu 16.04 on gnome-terminal (adds a new profile after used). @himrasmussen are you using Konsole or gnome-terminal?
@himrasmussen this is sort of a problem. Part of the script verify which terminal you are using and to my knowledge it only considers gnome-terminal and patheon-terminal
Not working on my end either (16.04). I can get the theme selection choice during the install but nothing happens. I also had 2 profiles and it deleted them. I tried again (creating a dummy profile, running your script) and it deleted my profiles again... It only leaves 1 of them (Default). And it's not the colors I asked...
It works for me and probably should for you ($ uname --all Linux eos 4.4.0-96-generic #119~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 13 08:40:48 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
or if put it simple my current distro is Elementary OS 0.3.2 Freya)
It's kinda long and ridiculously redundant but bear with me: CHECK YOUR VERSION OF A TERMINAL (in my case it is 3.6.2)
$ gnome-terminal --version

AT THIS POINT THE NEW THEME IS INSTALLED BUT YOUR Default theme is gone GO TO YOUR PROFILES (gnome-terminal menu>edit>profiles) CREATE A NEW PROFILE AND NAME IT Default CLOSE YOUR TERMINAL OPEN TERMINAL CLICK ON PROFILES IN ORDER TO CHOOSE THE WISHED THEME APPRECIATE IT ^^ That is it. PS. I've deliberately shown whole process instead of pointing on needed steps briefly.
For Linux Mint the work around is just cloning the repo and running f.e. themes/solarized-dark.sh. This will create a named profile. This seems enough to make it persistent.
When I run apply-colors it creates the Default profile with broken colors.
Another work around that worked even better was uninstalling dconf-cli, I installed it because it was stated in the readme.md but it seems Mint doesn't use dconf, at least not at version 17.3.
The bug happens at the apply-colors.sh. After a user installed dconf-cli, the script will check if it needs to apply the settings with dconf. It wont find any profiles there because some distros or configurations don't use dconf for this and skip to the else part, where an exit 1 triggers since this commit: https://github.com/Mayccoll/Gogh/commit/84e96d9771e63697c632eac4d4172020f1a225de
So simply put, the script will never reach the working gconf (legacy) code unless you don't have dconf installed at all.
Just thought I'd share my findings..
On Ubuntu 18.04 LTS there were no profiles created.
While trying to install other Gnome terminal profiles I stumbled upon the sugestion to install dconf-tools
Did that and afterwards it worked.
Ubuntu 18.04, fresh install;
Creating a new profile did at least help with installation. I just had to find the theme's SH file and use it to install. That's because the default install wasn't asking for any theme and was installing Freya theme.
I'll check it out when I have the time for a fix though (that's if I remember)
