    Please help to set Cinnamon as default

    Hello everybody,

    I installed Kali Linux 2016.2 today but I want to get rid Gnome an would like to set Cinnamon as default in my Kali.
    Already uninstalled Gnome " apt-get remove gnome-core" and installed Cinnamon "apt-get install kali-defaults kali-root-login desktop-base cinnamon"
    After rebooting my machine Gnome is still coming up as desktop/window manager.
    What do I have to do to set Cinnamon as my default Desktop/Window manager.

    hi there you have to run following command:
    Code:
    update-alternatives --config x-session-manager
    then simply select which Desktop Environments(Desktop Manager) you want to use.
