Deepin-terminal not showing up in x-terminal-emulator list

Question

Following this post I tried this command:

sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator

But it doesn't list the deepin-terminal:

There are 2 choices for the alternative x-terminal-emulator (providing /usr/bin/
x-terminal-emulator).

  Selection    Path                             Priority   Status
------------------------------------------------------------
  0            /usr/bin/terminator               50        auto mode
* 1            /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper   40        manual mode
  2            /usr/bin/terminator               50        manual mode

Press <enter> to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number

I have also tried from this other question, these two commands:

sudo apt install --reinstall deepin-terminal
sudo dpkg-reconfigure deepin-terminal

None worked, do you have any other ideas? Thanks in advance.

For me, the following worked

https://github.com/linuxdeepin/deepin-terminal/issues/186#issuecomment-517919007

# Register deepin terminal
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator x-terminal-emulator /usr/bin/deepin-terminal 50
Select your terminal
sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator

No reboot needed. Tested on Ubuntu.

@MarioPalumbo what did you get? – Maxwell s.c Sep 22 '21 at 15:15

I always get the gnome terminal but I found the problem was in cinnamon's settings, in the "favorite applications" section. Once changed to "deepin terminal" the problem was solved. – Mario Palumbo Sep 23 '21 at 06:43

the only solution that I found was this:

sudo gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec /usr/bin/deepin-terminal
sudo gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec-arg "-x"

And It works for me.

Thank you. I also had to logout and login for it to kick into effect. – Frank Fu Oct 11 '19 at 12:03
