OpenSUSE on the side

[sdlynx]

I just installed openSUSE on a separate partition, and chose not to install it's boot manager. So I came back to Ubuntu so that I could do an update-grub2, but it doesn't find the SUSE installation. Turns out, even gParted shows the SUSE partition as Unrecognized. What went wrong? Also, how can I add SUSE to my grub list (assuming the filesystem is/was set up correctly)?

Thanks,
SDLynx

If you used ext3 or ext4 for Suse it should be recognized.Read this to find out how to add new entry to grub.

Thanks, I got it up. Apparently the installation had gone bad, a reinstall fixed it on the SUSE side. I even got grub2 back (I just installed openSUSE's bootloader in case that was the problem last time). However, now when I try to load Ubuntu it lets me log in but I cannot get any panels or anything for either GNOME or XCFE. OpenSUSE runs fine. Thus, I can't use Ubuntu aside from through the terminal. Help?

Edit: Note, and this is probably important, I have a separate home partition that I mount (same user) for both linuxes (grammar?).
