How to add a pre-made profile to gnome terminal

Question

So I just re-installed Ubuntu, but before I did, I grabbed my old gnome-terminal profile.

Now I want to put that profile wherever it is that gnome keeps the profiles, so I can select it through the GUI. However, I can't seem to find the place it reads from.

I thought it was ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/profile, so I replaced that folder with my old profile folder, but this did not work.

I have searched my file system and I can't find any other directory that matches. However, I also can't find any folders or files with the name "unnamed", which is the name of the default profile that I have now.

I think I am in the right place, but perhaps I need to edit one of the xml files in the sub-tree.

Can anyone help me out?

tree ~/.gconf

Answer 1

Apparently, the profiles created in 14.04 are not usable in the default gnome-terminal of 15.04 and 15.10.

I just opened a gconf.xml in an editor and manually copied all palette colors to the gnome-terminal profile preference.

You can view the settings you entered with dconf-editor instead of gconf-editor, in org->gnome->terminal->legacy->profiles.

I wish there was an import tool for backward compatibility...
