Hello,
I accidently delete a default ambiance from the settings menu and i want to restore it.
How i can do that ?
Thank you in advance for your answer.
Do you know the name of the ambience you removed?
Using terminal, either on your device or via SSH, you should be able to list and reinstall the ambience you lost.
to find an ambience package; (see names in the list for ambience name)
devel-su pkcon search ambience
to remove a specific ambience package; (in this ex. air-ambience)
devel-su pkcon remove sailfish-content-ambiences-default-air
to complete the removal of the above package or restart ambience service;
devel-su systemctl --user restart ambienced
to install the above or other package;
devel-su pkcon install sailfish-content-ambiences-default-air

Ambiences are managed for the user in ~/.local/share/system/privileged/Ambienced/ambienced.sqlite
I guess to reset everything to default, you could do
systemctl --user stop ambienced
devel-su -p rm ~/.local/share/system/privileged/Ambienced/ambienced.sqlite{,-wal,-shm}
systemctl --user start ambienced
/usr/lib/oneshot.d/trigger-ambience-update
If you’re fine with doing some SQL, here’s the difference of my ambienced.sqlite before and after removing the “Vigurous” ambience:
