gnome v47.0
linux 6.11.2-1-default x86_64
With the most recent Tumbleweed update (20241010) the login screen has reverted to xdm from gdm. I tried installing gdm:
$ sudo zypper in gdm
Retrieving repository 'Packman-Tumbleweed' metadata .........................................................................[done]

Reading installed packages...
'gdm' is already installed.
No update candidate for 'gdm-47.0-1.1.x86_64'. The highest available version is already installed.
Resolving package dependencies...
Nothing to do.
Hmm. I tried to change the display manager:
$ sudo update-alternatives --config default-displaymanager
There are 2 choices for the alternative default-displaymanager (providing /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/default-displaymanager).
Selection Path Priority Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0 /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/xdm 10 auto mode
1 /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/console 5 manual mode
2 /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/xdm 10 manual mode
Press <enter> to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number: ^C
If gdm is installed, where is it?
