gdm not working after upgrade to testing

Hi all, i normally type the command "gdm" to login to gnome after i start Arch. Lastnight i upgraded to testing and after that when i type "gdm" nothing happens which means i cannot use gnome.

I'll appreciate some help please.

Thnx.

You could always use kdm or xdm until you resolve the gdm problems.

Take a look at this page ...

I updated yesterday gnome from extra reposity and had same problem .
I found that gdm had been moved to /opt/gnome/sbin directory (earlier /opt/gnome/bin).
