    One dash before “config” is missing in the command.
    # sudo update-alternatives -–config x-terminal-emulator

    This works for me, thanks!

      Hi YinanLiu,

      In checking my post, there is a double dash already, but the theme I am using has converted this to a single dash.
      I have updated the post and changed to inline code, so this displays better and formats for copying into a terminal.

      Thank you!
