I have Kali-64bit installed in Virtual Box, and I'm simply trying to set the MATE environment as my default for when I reboot/shutdown and log in afterwards.

I've tried

update-alternatives --config x-session-manager

and choosing mate-session (be it auto/manual mode) but I still get signed into the default GNOME environment.

Yet when I run update-alternatives command again, MATE is still selected and hasn't reverted back to GNOME.

This should be such a minute command that I've ran on two other Kali installations and it worked flawlessly, yet on my Vbox installations, the update-alternatives just wouldn't stick.

  If that solution does not apply, another solution would be to install the MATE version of Kali Linux

  It finally worked via removing the gnome sessions from the usr/share/xsessions directory.

It finally worked thanks to kemotep's comment citing another question.

What I did was navigate to /usr/share/xsessions and remove everything gnome-related.

Weirdly enough, using

# update-alternatives --config x-session-manager

or

# update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-session-manager x-session-manager /usr/bin/mate-session 60

didn't solve my issue when either should have.
