Why I am getting error "ignoring invalid group name" on execution of "dconf update" command ?

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • When trying to create a new profile in /etc/dconf/, with following content:
# cat /etc/dconf/db/local.d/03-displaybuttons
[/org/gnome/shell/overrides]
button-layout=':minimize,maximize,close'
  • The "dconf update" command gives following error :
