Try This
nope, edited /etc/init/xbmc.conf with the instructions and verified after reboot. still no auto login.
possibly because it was an xbmclive version that got updated/upgraded?
even tried manual start.
Code:
boston@XBMCLive:~$ sudo service xbmc start
start: Job failed to startedit: for now my way around it is to startx then start xbmc from there.

There is no Login Screen option
System -> Administration -> Login Screen

system >profiles and you can manage logins from there. top lef enable/disable autologin and well its not a complicated Dialog.

I've just figured this out for Ubuntu 10.10
You need to auto start XBMC this way:
System->Preferences>Startup Appplications
On the Tab Startup Programs klik <add>
Now you have 3 input fields:
Name
Command
Comment
Name: you can choose, but XBMC would be the obvious choice.
Command: Click the <Browse> button and navigate to "File System>USR>BIN> scroll all the way down until you find a single entry called xbmc. Select it.
The line in the field Command should now read: /usr/bin/xbmc
Comment: you can leave blank.
DONE!!
I do assume you have alread got Ubuntu to login automagically. It takes a little while longer then a Live install, but it works!

I appreciate the help, but neither of those are helpful or things I havent tried.
Guess I'll figure it out on my own or wait till Eden Live version.
