Hi, fairly new at using XBMC and Linux in general so please bare with me
I've installed a full Ubuntu desktop and XBMC (using the mediastream skin) following some of the guides here. Everything works fine!
I wanted to have my system auto run XBMC when I start so I followed the guides and logged out, pressed F10 then selected the XBMC session - this all worked fine.
What I'm trying to do now is get back to my normal desktop session to run things like firefox, transmission etc but I can't get out of the XBMC session?
I've done some searching on the forums and people are saying if you select shutdown it should return you to the login window but mine simply shuts down the machine completely. Everything I've tried will always return me to the XBMC session and I can't see a way of getting back to my desktop?
Again fairly new at all this so if you do know how to fix it could you give me the step by step answer Cheers.
