XBMCLive installation - XBMC GUI not showing up - chanfl - 2010-03-20

I am trying to install XBMCLive on to my laptop HDD. I have some experience installing XBMC on original xbox but I am not familiar with Linux. I am using "xbmc-9.11-live-repack" and "Install XBMCLive to disk" option. After installation is completed and computer restarted, right after the xbmc boot up spinning wheel screen, I am getting the following screen instead of the XBMC GUI.

Boot from (hd0,0) ext4 4d5d9922-98f8-4ed0-8998-50ca0af73bc6
Ubuntu 9.10 XBMCLive tty1

XBMCLive login:


after login it shows the following message on the screen

Linux XBMCLive 2.6.31-16generic #53-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 8 04:01:29 UTC 2009 i686

(all standard Ubuntu doumentation, help, warranty and command message)


xbmc@XBMCLive:~$
