[manjaro-dev] confusion over gconf settings

[kendell clark]

hi
Ok, I think I've gotten stuck again lol. I generated a pulseaudio-ctl
config file which was valid according to the manpage, but when I built
an image it didn't get applied. I then generated a desktop launcher that
would essential turn the volume up to 70 percent then exit, but the
image build process errored out because manjaro-live-skel already has
one. But why isn't the one in manjaro-live-skel being executed? Once
this and the volume keyboard shortcuts get sorted out I can finally
release the mate image.
Thanks
Kendell Clark
