Ok I am newbie to XBMC. This is my first install please forgive me if I did something stupid or easily fixed. I installed XBMCbuntu it seemed to install just fine though it was hard to read everything during the install. It restarted back up and tried to go into XBMC and it just started looping over end over then it brought up what I assume is the Ubuntu desktop. When I tried to play a movie or music it looped a few time then nothing. Try to view a picture and it tells me I don't have a program to open it. How do I fix this?

Sounds like your video card isn't supported by the version of xbmcbuntu you installed. But as you haven't given any info it's hard to say.

There 2 versions of the xbmcbuntu iso - amd and nvidia/intel.
If you can't tell us what graphics chipset you have, well I find that a bit weird. But the command lspci will tell you.

Run
Code:
lspci | grep VGA ; lsmod | grep "kms\|drm" ; find /dev -group video ; \
cat /proc/cmdline ; find /etc/modprobe.d/; cat /etc/modprobe.d/*kms* ; \
ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf ; glxinfo | grep -i "vendor\|rendering" ; \

If it has an nvidia gpu then you want the nvidia/intel iso.
