Hi ,
I am new to trisquel gnu/linux. i want to change no of workspaces. I tried ccsm and the following command, but both of them failed
$ gsettings set org.compiz.core:/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/core/ hsize 4
$ gsettings set org.compiz.core:/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/core/ vsize 4

On my Triskel system (note: KDE, not Gnome!), I run System Settings and pick Workspace Behavior. Dunno if that's helpful to you. If your window manager shows you a desktop switcher, right-clicking on it might bring up a useful options menu.

Thanks for the reply.
I am using GNOME. there is no workspace behaviour in system settings, and window manager doesn't show desktop switcher.

If you are using Gnome Fallback (default Trisquel environment):

For Metacity = Alt + Right click on panel

For Compiz = Alt + Super (Win key) + Right click on panel

Left click "Add to panel" and find "Workspace Switcher", add that to your panel and then right click -> preferences on the newly created panel icon.

After you have made your adjstments, you can then remove the workspace switcher from the panel (if you want to) by doing the above, depending on whether you are using Metacity or Compiz and then left clicking on "Remove from Panel"

This could work too, e.g.

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences num-workspaces 4
