Right, but that's after typing "$HOME/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log" into terminal.

Not really of all the errors even accounting if your logged into ssh using root (which you shouldn't anyway) that's not a error you would get after typing that command, which should be in any case not forgetting cat
Code:
sudo apt-get install pastebinit
cat $HOME/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log | pastebinitCopy and paste the above.
If you get that error again I want the output of
Code:
ls -all $HOME/.xbmc| pastebinitor try this (do not copy and paste)
Code:
sudo apt-get install pastebinit
cat /home/yourusername/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log | pastebinitWhere you type your-username intead in there.

I'm going to try to log this on Monday. RC2 does exactly the same for me.

I am also having this same problem. Once xbmc splash screen comes up and tries to load the whole system freezes. You cant terminal into the unit by pressing ctrl+alt+F1 or F2 and putty doesn't work either. Please let me know what I can do to get this issue resovled also.
If I use EDEN it works great.
RE: Black Screen with immobile cursor in center - discmeister - 2012-12-22
cmedina7777, what are your system specs? Always worth listing even the basics here in case someone spots a trend or an obvious fix.
A few who've mentioned it here seem to be using Intel integrated graphics on a Sandy Bridge processor. Could it be an Intel driver issue?
I'm also going to try it without my USB IR receiver plugged in, just in case it's it.

Well, if you keep tapping ctrl+alt+f1 BEFORE the system freezes... you can usually get lucky and see a terminal window.

These are the spec's

Let me know if you need any more information
RE: Black Screen with immobile cursor in center - discmeister - 2012-12-23
Hmm. Another Intel HD exponent. Hope one of us can manage to get a logfile to the developers, or the machines we've built specifically for XBMC are going to wave goodbye to Frodo...
RE: Black Screen with immobile cursor in center - un1versal - 2012-12-23
You guys should try to install the intel driver from a ppa...

If it is it then your gpus are still not detected properly by XBMCbuntu and needs to be fixed properly on installer.

If its the same issue I'm getting, xbmc debug log won't help - its completely empty, 0 bytes. Appears to be X11 that's hanging the system, before XBMC even starts.
I have similar hardware as listed above, though in my case its an ASRock system, but still Core i3 using the integrated Intel HD graphics.
I've tried using the intel drivers as listed above as well, but no luck.
RE: Black Screen with immobile cursor in center - un1versal - 2012-12-27
A /var/log/Xorg.0.log pastebin and a dmesg on pastebin may shed some light.
We need to see what going on system wise.

RE: Black Screen with immobile cursor in center - rlpaul - 2012-12-27
dmesg isn't being too helpful either - went through the last two and didn't see much, but I'll be happy to post it in a min in case I missed something.
Let me get pastebin merged, and I'll put up both.

RE: Black Screen with immobile cursor in center - malibu327 - 2012-12-28
I'm glad yall are having problems, I have the intel core g630 with integrated graphics and mine is doing this exact thing. I haven't tried to get a log and I guess I wont have to since other people are having this same issue.
RE: Black Screen with immobile cursor in center - un1versal - 2012-12-28
You guys can try to add nomodeset to the kernel boot line.
