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!
sorry I dont see "System->Preferences>Startup Appplications" so I cant add xbmc to the startup apps

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.

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Hi, I have tried to avoid that "dist-upgrade" not to break
a working base system. Unfortunately that may be the way
to go.

In 10 years of using debian/ubuntu on a daily basis on multiple systems it has broken my system only once (after I added repositories of a newer version of ubuntu to my sources.list). So I think you're safe

Yes, all went ok, thank You. I had some bad experiences earlier with
lirc and some other functionality.

XBMC on 11.04 - brunojcm - 2011-10-10 05:21
I tried several times to install XBMC since the Natty release and always needed a hack because natty is not on the ppa... Ubuntu 11.10 is almost out and we don't have ppa for the 11.04?
Is it true? Bug http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/11488 is being ignored?
Am I getting crazy??
If there is any problem, I would like to be aware of it and help to document it on the wiki, or even try to fix it.
Thanks!

Use the unstable PPA on natty.
