Is there a way to lock the users preferred current config so they do not have to go to "alternatives" and change the setting back after some updates?
After the first time you change the alternative, it is set to 'manual' mode and won't be affected by any future changes from the package manager
e.g.:
# update-alternatives --display default-displaymanager default-displaymanager - auto mode
=> I'm running in auto-mode
If you use
# update-alternatives --config default-displaymanager
and pick the one you want to use, the mode will be switched and no longer be changed for you Thanks. I made my changes through alternatives in yast when the DM was changed automatically from kdm to sddm a while ago. I can't remember for sure but when i changed it back then I presume it should have set it to manual so in theory it shouldn't have changed this time. I'll keep an eye on it as I now have DM and postgresql on manual via Yast.
Cheers Dominique Regards
