I am trying to set some global gsettings/dconf properties so that the display is not turned off when the idle. Usually one sets this with the following command:



gsettings set set org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay 0


However, I want to to be able to set this across all user accounts. I found this answer that suggested that I create some specific files under /etc/dconf. So, using that answer as a guide, I performed the following:



sudo mkdir -p /etc/dconf/profile

cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/dconf/profile/user
user-db:user
system-db:local
EOF

sudo mkdir -p /etc/dconf/db/local.d

cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/dconf/db/local.d/00-nolock
[org/gnome/desktop/session]
idle-delay=0
EOF

sudo dconf update


However, upon logging out and logging back in, the global settings I attempted to set were not in effect.



How can I set dconf properties globally?
