i'm using ubuntu 11.10, i'm a total linux newb. I tried following one post where I was to change a file from Unity to XBMC and it would boot into XBMC but it never worked. was unable to find an easy guide, any help would be greatly appreciated.

no didn't work for me, ended up causing me not to be able to use terminal just had to reverse what I did. Was worth a shot though if I knew what I was doing it might have worked with a few changes but I know nothing about linux so.. hah
I would try just adding the command (with full path info) to /etc/rc.d/rc.local but if you aren't comfortable with nix, you may want to try this first:

If I have a few minutes, I'll install XBMC on my Linux VM and see what I can come up with. (If someone who knows for sure doesn't jump in first that is
)
So I just went to the basics and went to startup applications, add, went to file system/usr/bin/xbmc and added that. done starts up after boot and goes to full screen. I'm assuming whatever you leave it at windowed/fullscreen is where it will return but it worked for me. I don't understand why everyone got all these codes, and things to change to make it work. Thanks for the help though!
Awesome. Glad you got it going. =)
