Hi.!
I recently installed Sabayon Linux 1.1 Professional edition from a LiveDVD on my PC which already has Ubuntu 7.10 installed.I shared a common /home partition between both Distros under different user-names.After editing menu.lst and /etc/fstab I managed to get both distros working fine.:) But now, whenever I boot into Ubuntu, I get following error just before Start-up music plays:
Code:
No exec line in session file kde-3.5.Running failsafe GNOME session instead
Any insight on this error.?

@will be a mess with gconf for 2 distros residing in one /home/ partition :p
I suggest u run "gconf-cleaner" google for it!
Gnome and kde cannot survive together :p kde fugs up gconf may be :D

Got over the problem pretty easily.!Just had to re-login and select GNOME session from the login screen and make it default for Ubuntu.Same went for KDE and Sabayon :mrgreen:
