Bug Description

I'm trying to change a configuration option with dconf on command line (to make automatic after that) but always occurs an error:

$ dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/interface/monospace-font-name "Noto Mono 10"
error: 0-1:unknown keyword

Usage:
  dconf write KEY VALUE
... (all the rest of usage message for write parameter)

Works well using dconf-editor, so I think the problem is in the CLI itself.

Thanks but that's not a bug, see e.g http://askubuntu.com/questions/487206/dconf-change-a-string-key

you should also probably use "gsettings set ..." instead

Changed in d-conf (Ubuntu):
