[solved] Gnome System Menu doesn't appear.
Hi,
I'm a new Arch user, and i've just finished to install Arch with Gnome. Everything works fine.
But one thing doesn't.
The Gnome's menu System->administration does not exist on my PC. It's a problem, and i don' understand why?
Maybe i've forgot some packages.
Thanks for your help

Re: [solved] Gnome System Menu doesn't appear.
our gnome is vanilla and we are not organizing menus like any other distribution do.
what are you expecting to be there? for example gnome-system-tools will install some tools but again, maybe that is not what you are searching
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

I never knew there actually was a gui configuration tool for gdm. To enable auto login edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf:
[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=yourusernamehere
Thats all

hi,
In fact, i'm not sure that a gui tool for GDM. Before using Arch, i used Ubuntu, and in this distrib, there's a menu entry to configure login (like autologin).

because ubuntu is using a patch from gnome bugzilla, which wasn't have been yet committed in git.

Ok.
Is ArchLinux will use this patch in future?

no. the direction is upstream->packaging. if upstream doesn't commit that patch, then something is wrong with it
