Open N0rbert opened 3 years ago

N0rbert commented 3 years ago

Steps to reproduce:

Have Ubuntu MATE 20.10 installed
Install i3 with sudo apt-get install i3*
Reboot machine
Select i3 (or i3 with debug) on login screen

Expected results:

i3 starts

Actual results:

MATE starts instead of i3

Extra info:

After entering to "i3" it says:

$ sudo grep Session /var/lib/AccountsService/users/$USER
Session=mate
XSession=mate

After removing mate-session-manager it shows the following:

$ sudo grep Session /var/lib/AccountsService/users/$USER
Session=mate
XSession=i3
