Whatever. Highest number wins here. update-alternatives is in auto mode by default, means highest number wins. You should switch to manual mode. As documentation I'm aware of "update-alternatives --help" and the manual page. --- When using the --config option, update-alternatives will list all of the choices for the link group of which given name is the master alternative name. The current choice is marked with a ‘*’. You will then be prompted for your choice regarding this link group. Depending on the choice made, the link group might no longer be in auto mode. You will need to use the --auto option in order to return to the automatic mode (or you can rerun --config and select the entry marked as automatic). -- This is what you want for surviving the next "zypper up". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Looks like you've removed /usr/share/xsessions/tde.desktop meanwhile.
Looks like that to update-alternatives, but it looks like it's there to ls: # ls -l /etc/alternatives/default-displaymanager lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Mar 31 03:44 /etc/alternatives/default-displaymanager -> /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/tdm # ls -l /etc/alternatives/default-xsession.desktop lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Mar 31 03:43 /etc/alternatives/default-xsession.desktop -> /usr/share/xsessions/tde.desktop # ls -l /usr/share/xsessions/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 42 Sep 21 2018 default.desktop -> /etc/alternatives/default-xsession.desktop lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Sep 21 2018 icewm-session.desktop -> icewm.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2498 Sep 21 2018 icewm.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4083 Mar 18 16:52 tde.desktop # update-alternatives --config default-displaymanager There are 3 choices for the alternative default-displaymanager (providing /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/default-displaymanager).

This is what you want for surviving the next "zypper up".
Looks like I'm set for TDM, but since tde-session.desktop is not found by update-alternatives, what to do for tde-session.desktop to survive I'm at at loss. Is this a bug that needs to be reported to TDE's bug tracker, or a bug in update-alternatives not finding a file that clearly exists? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
