Setting Default Applications
| |
Debian has a system of alternatives for various commands (or
functionalities). For example, the editor command could be
nano or nvi, or one of a large number of
alternative editors. You can update the default for this command
with:
$ wajig updatealts editor (update-alternatives --config editor)
|
Another common alternative is x-window-manager. You can get a
list of all alternatives with:
$ wajig listalts (ls /etc/alternatives/)
|
The information is maintained in the directory
/etc/alternatives/.
