Can't start session with GDM (Solved)

I have installed Xorg and gnome as the wiki says, and when trying to start session using gdm I get the following error in the .xsession-errors file:

/opt/gnome/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default: Registering your session with wtmp and utmp
/opt/gnome/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default: running: /usr/bin/sessreg -a -w /var/log/wtmp -u /var/run/utmp -x "/opt/gnome/var/gdm/:0.Xservers" -h "" -l ":0" "adrian"
/opt/gnome/etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...
/opt/gnome/etc/gdm/Xsession: ssh-agent not found!
/opt/gnome/etc/gdm/Xsession: Setup done, will execute: /usr/bin/dbus-launch /opt/gnome/bin/gnome-session
Failed to start message bus: Failed to read directory "/opt/gnome/share/dbus-1/services": No such file or directory
EOF in dbus-launch reading address from bus daemon

so, how do I fix it?

Did you install gnome-extra? If not:

pacman -S gnome-extra

Yes, I have installed gnome-extra, in fact GDM used to work properly, but suddenly it failed and I can't use it to start session

Did you happen to remove any packages lately? Check and make sure this folder exsist:

/opt/gnome/share/dbus-1/services

If not do or even if it does do this:

pacman -Q dbus

You should get an output like:
dbus 0.61-7

if not, then you're missing the dbus package, you can try installing it by:

pacman -S dbus

I don't have the /opt/gnome/share/dbus-1/services folder, and when typing pacman -Q dbus, I get the following:

dbus 0.61-3

try:

su -c 'mkdir /opt/gnome/share/dbus-1'
su -c 'mkdir /opt/gnome/share/dbus-1/services'

note first command may not be required.
You will be prompted for your root password.
