Hi folks,
Gentoo_64
Gnome-light
Gnome desktop
On Desktop --> Administration --> there is only 1 item "Login Window"
clicking it starting;
Could not launch menu item
Details: Failed to execute child process "gdmsetup" (No such file or directory)
Please advise how to fix it. What package shall I install to have other items under "Administration"?
TIA
B.R.
SL

gdmsetup is part of gdm. Do you have gdm installed? Even though you're
running gnome, it's possible not to have gdm...
HTH,

# equery l gdm

did you try running gdmsetup manually? find out where it is and specify
the full path, as root:
/usr/sbin/gdmsetup
