XBMCbuntu / XBMCfreak - Accidentally logged into OpenBox - himayv - 2012-06-21
So, I think I did something dumb and I'm not sure how to undo it:
I logged out of XBMC (I am running XBMCfreak / XBMCbuntu on my Acer Aspire Revo 1600), it gave three options, XBMC, XBMCbuntu, and OpenBox, I selected OpenBox.
That gives me a big grey screen and a mouse pointer, but nothing to do / click on.
I can hit Ctrl + F2 and get to a command prompt, but if I type "xbmc" at the command prompt, I get an error about being unable to load the video.
Since my last log in was to OpenBox, it now goes there every time I reboot the machine.
Help! How do I get back to logging in to XBMCbuntu or XBMC?
Thanks in advance!

at command promt did you try "logout" or "exit" ?

Thanks for the response! Yes, I did try both of those. Neither worked. When I logout, it takes me to a command prompt to login again (if I reboot from there, back to openbox)...if I type exit, same thing.
Thoughts? Thanks in advance!
Just fixed it! Right click, exit. Sorry for the silly question!

Not really a Linux User, but try killall5, this should end the current session and get you back to the selection screen where you can then select Xbmc and have a working System again.

Missed your edit to post #3 stating you'd fixed the problem.
