GOA-DAEMON(8) goa-daemon GOA-DAEMON(8)NAME
goa-daemon - GNOME Online Accounts Daemon
SYNOPSIS
goa-daemon [--help] [--replace]
DESCRIPTION
The goa-daemon program provides the org.gnome.OnlineAccounts name on the session message bus. Users or administrators should never need to
start this daemon as it will be automatically started by dbus-daemon(1) whenever an application sends a D-Bus message to the
org.gnome.OnlineAccounts name on the session bus.
CONFIGURATION FILE
The goa-daemon program stores configuration in the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/goa-1.0/accounts.conf (typically ~/.config/goa-1.0/accounts.conf) file.
The format of this file is private and 3rd party programs or libraries should never read it. This file does not contain any passwords or
secrets.
See the XDG Base Directory Specification[1] for more information about $XDG_CONFIG_HOME.
SECRETS
The goa-daemon program stores secrets (such as OAuth tokens) in GNOME Keyring[2]. The format of the stored secrets is private and 3rd party
programs or libraries should never read, modify or delete these secrets.
OPTIONS --replace
Replace existing instance.
--help
Show help options.

gnome-settings-daemon - GNOME settings daemon
SYNOPSIS
gnome-settings-daemon [OPTION...]
DESCRIPTION
gnome-settings-daemon provides many session-wide services and functions that require a long-running process. Among the services implemented
by gnome-settings-daemon are an XSettings manager, which provides theming, font and other settings to GTK+ applications, and a clipboard
manager, which preserves clipboard contents when an application exits. Many user interface elements of gnome-shell and gnome-control-center
rely on gnome-settings-daemon for their functionality.
The internal architecture of gnome-settings-daemon consists of a number of plugins, which provide functionality such as printer
notifications, software update monitoring, background changing, etc. For debugging purposes, these plugins can be individually disabled by
changing the gsettings key org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.plugin-name.active, where plugin-name is the name of the plugin. To see a list
of all plugins, use the command
gsettings list-children org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins
gnome-settings-daemon takes the name org.gnome.SettingsDaemon on the session bus to ensure that only one instance is running. Some plugins
export objects under this name to make their functionality available to other applications. The interfaces of these objects should
generally be considered private and unstable.
gnome-settings-daemon is a required component of the GNOME desktop, i.e. it is listed in the RequiredComponents field of
/usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gnome.session. It is started in the initialization phase of the session, and gnome-session will restart
it if it crashes.
OPTIONS -h, --help
Prints a short help text and exits.
--debug
Enables debugging code.
--timed-exit
Exits after a timeout (30 seconds) for debugging.
FILES
/usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gnome.session
GNOME session definition file where gnome-settings-daemon is listed as a required component.
/etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-settings-daemon.desktop
Autostart file for gnome-settings-daemon, where its autostart phase is set.
