Hei,

EDIT

I added the solution. Original post is kept for reference.

dbus-send --session --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=com.jolla.ambienced /com/jolla/ambienced com.jolla.ambienced.setAmbience string:'file:///usr/share/ambience/'$2'/'$2'.ambience'

Where '$2' is the name of the ambience.

End of EDIT

Please, somebody, tell me how I can switch ambiences from terminal (dbus?).

Thank you,

LVPVS out.

Hi LVPVS, I got it working with the "dbus-send" method. Many thanks!

Hei @Holger, Thanks for the feedback! :)

If, by any chance, you happen to find out where the user-created ambiences are stored, please let me know. :)

LVPVS over.

In the gist is my script written in Python using DBus to switch ambiences - provide ambience name as an argument. https://gist.github.com/jacekmitrega/a94fefc041da8288f466

That was my first script I wrote when my Jolla arrived in 2013. I figured it out how to do it by watching output of dbus-monitor (run it as root) while manually switching ambiences. Absolutely love it <3

And one more thing, where are my custom Ambiences stored? LVPVS out.

What would it look like with the dbus-send command? LVPVS out.
