yast2 configure display manager used to allow you to change the display manager, but it no longer works, although the option is still there.
Google tells me I must use:
sudo update-alternatives --config default-displaymanager
Why is the option still in Yast2 if it doesn't work? Why this change?
Where are you trying to change this, the one in /etc/sysconfig-->Display manager, or the one in Miscellaneous/Alternatives? Note that you must have the yast2-alternative package installed (I thought it was installed by default?) for the second of these to be present.
I meant to say it is yast2 sysconfig. It takes you into a config editor and the display manager is under "desktop" I think, also the window manager. Unfortunately, that module can display variables that no longer work.
How do you mean? It looks to me like it's only offering choices that are already installed on the system.
Well for example it has an option to change the display manager, which used to work, but no longer works, which is why I started this thread. Clearly someone has decided that there should be another way to change the display manager, but why? and why has this option been left there non-functioning, without any indication that it is non-functioning? You always had to reboot the computer for the change to work, or at least take it to rescue mode, so it would be very useful if the option actually called the new script to update the display manager. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
