1. What is the Type of the service of the “dconf.service”?

First of all, let’s find this service.

💡 Everything in Linux is a file.

We use the find command,

find / -name dconf.service -type f 2>/dev/null

• find / ➡ Find in root directory.
• -name dconf.service ➡ Name should be ‘dconf.service’.
• -type f ➡ Type should be file.
• 2>/dev/null ➡ All errors should be ignored.

It returned us “/usr/lib/systemd/user/dconf.service”.

Now, let’s see the contents of this file, and filter out the type from this file.

cat /usr/lib/systemd/user/dconf.service | grep -i type

And we got the answer.

• -i ➡ This -i flag means, search for results no matter upper or lower case.
