Not able to change the key value of banner_message_text in gconf-editor

Latest response

Hi,

I tried to change the value of banner_message_text under /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/ using gconf-editor. But it is not allowing me to edit the value of the key and reports "The key is not writable".

OS Version: RHEL 6.5
User : root

Please find attached screen shot for the same.

It was resolved by RH support.

The solution provided is :

=========================================================
It seems the previous banner was set in mandatory profile. That's why you are not
able to modify it. The mandatory profile settings cannot be changed by the user.
So if you want to modify this setting, login into the system as root user and remove
existing configuration from mandatory profile.

# rm -rf /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/

Logout and re-login into the system. Follow this article and try to set banner:

Happy to see Support helped you out with this one. Thanks for sharing the solution here.
