Default gnome session and startx

Asked by Tong Sun

Hi,

How to change/define the default gnome session (Gnome Classic) system-wide for everyone?

I boot into text, not to GUI. How can I choose which Gnome flavor to use (GNOME Classic or GNOME Classic (No effects, or anything else) ) when I get into Gnome, system-wide for everyone?

Thanks

I tried

sudo update-alternatives --config x-session-manager

but it told me,

There is only one alternative in link group x-session-manager: /usr/bin/gnome-session
Nothing to configure.

I also tried

man gnome-session

but both $XDG_CONFIG_HOME $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS are empty in my environment, so I have no clue what the files are the man page mentioned.

Thanks Andrew,

That doesn't apply to me, because it's a solution for LightDM, while I boot into text, not to LightDM, and use startx to start gnome session.

Help appreciated though.

Thanks
