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.
