In XBMCBuntu there was a way to exit XBMC and login to the desktop, I can't find anything on how to do that now, can someone please help? Had to buy a new hard drive so I just installed KodiBuntu, and now I'm looking for a way to get back to being able to use the browser and etc, as well as do all the required OS updates, thanks in advance!

if you use confluence skin and want to shut down your client, you don´t select "shut down"...select "exit"
After this you get another login prompt where your username should be inserted automatically. At the right top of the screen, there is a symbol which looks like a sheet with a broken corner. Click on that and select "kodibuntu". After that you enter the password you have given at installation and hit enter....then you should be logged in

Ok so actually I think this is a different problem than what I'm describing...
So I did a ctrl + alt + F1 logged in with the account I created "zombiefaace" and then did a sudo passwd root and changed the root password, rebooted the device, and once XBMC popped up I did a left click on the power button, clicked exit, and then changed the drop down to "Other" and typed in username root and new password I created, it went right back to XBMC, it's almost like desktop version doesn't exist, did they take this out on KodiBuntu? Or did I do something wrong during the installation? I follow the guide that said "How to load kodibuntu on a flash drive and install" this is a mini PC, so I can't burn the ISO to a CD-ROM as this device doesn't have a CD-ROM and I don't have a USB CD-ROM drive... I'm hoping there's just something I'm missing, otherwise I'm going to have to look at loading a different Linux OS like Mint, or etc just to get this working again, I was hoping to avoid that because honestly I've been tethering from my phone and didn't want to put all that data on there even though I have an unlimited plan.
Thanks community in advance!

Ok...
So for 1, there is no "menu where you get 3 options" all there is, is a login box that's it, the background is grey, and the top left says "Kodi" and there is no "Symbol which looks like a sheet with a broken corner" do you have screenshots or anything?
Yes I know root is always there, thus why I assigned him a password trying to get around this issue to see if I could get logged in...
And before you ask, YES I AM looking at the top right corner of the screen, NOT the top right of the login box...

Got it working, apparently the resolution wasn't adding up right, so I literally couldn't see those options, now I just need to get my sound working, thanks for your help!

There is no sound, from what I can tell it looks like alsamixer is choosing the analog by default, instead of HDMI which is what I'm using connection wise, now I'm just trying to get HDMI set as default
