xbmc doesnt boot into GUI - liquidhalo - 2010-11-01
Hi there
Ive never used or tried to use a linux distro before so im sorry if some of the terms i use are incorrect.
Ive just used Universal USB installer from pendrivelinux.com to install xbmc to a usb flash drive. It boots up okay showing the xbmc logo and the cpu/gpu option screen. when i pick my gpu/cpu set it goes to a text based prompt and doesnt load into the GUI. Can anyone shed some light on what i might be doing wrong?

Possibly it doesn't have drivers for your video card. Try logging in with username xbmc and password xbmc then type startx and see if X Windows starts.
