I was trying to follow the directions here to fix my media keys.
I thought that all I did was change the values of some fields with innocent names like "brightness-up-static" to '', and hit the "Apply" button. Yet it seems like every folder I looked in is now gone, up through the level of /org/gnome/settings-daemon/.
I'm guessing that reinstalling the OS is the only recourse, but would someone please clue me in on what I could have done wrong? So I don't accidentally do it again?
I did think to check the trash, and, unfortunately, they're not there. Even if I remembered the files I touched, the issue is that higher levels of folders were also deleted, so things I never saw, which might have been important, also got deleted.
If anyone would share their dconf files (and maybe a hint as to where to put them?), I'd appreciate it.
If you used Dconf-Editor to make the changes, it still has the default values... just go back through Dconf-Editor and set the values to "Use Default Value".
