Boot revo, hit ESC and select XBMC - SAFE MODE

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo reboot

This is happening because XBMC is notproperly installed, so it isn't loading, so you are seeing the standard login screen.
When you get to that screen, type your login name, press return, then type your password and press return, now run the remaining commands you didn't get to run last time.

Anyone managed to get XBMC on a minimal install of Maverick on the Revo shutting down and restarting via XBMC?
It seems Ubuntu in their infinite wisdom have removed polkit-auth and not replaced it with any similiar tool, so there is no obvious way to give xbmc the ability to shutdown the machine.
Seems a common thread in ubuntu, make very odd and often stupid decisions.....

hmm, that doesn't sound right....can you use SSH to log in to the box (you can do this from a ubuntu pc using "ssh -l loginyoucreated for XBMCBox IPADDRESSOFXBMCBox" or using Putty on windows.
Then run the remaining commands from that login.

no can do, only have a mac other than my revo.... I actually wouldn't mind just reloading xbmc 10.0 onto the revo and starting over but I can't create a bootable flash drive with a mac.... oy...

You can use this apparently: http://www.rbrowser.com/ to log in via SSH on a mac.
