How to select different DE?
I installed the Afterstep desktop. When I am at the log in box in MATE it doesn't appear in the drop down menu. Anyone know what I need to do to activate a different DE?

Afterstep isn't a full desktop environment, it's a simple window manager.
Regardless, do you see it in /usr/share/xsessions?
If there's an afterstep.desktop file, it will show up in the list of your desktop manager.

Code: Select all
$ ls /usr/share/xsessions/
