[GNC] ​Re: 4.9 on Ubuntu 20.04 not saving preferences

[Geert Janssens]

Hi David and Tim,

I don't think the compression format of the source files matters. Instead my guess is for the 
second build the installation directory got cleaned out or some similar action. That would 
solve the conflicting GSettings keys.  Running make/ninja uninstall from the 4.6 build 
directory would probably solve it too. Obviously I wasn't there so I can only guess.

Regards,

Geert
