Stupid question I'm sure but I've wasted 2 hours of my life now trying to find the answer, I'd be grateful if someone more experienced that me could offer any suggestions.
I'm a Linux n00b, I was reading a bit about xbmc and I thought I'd have a look at it as a long-time Windows Media Center user. I'm running the live CD booted from my PXE server, and I'm running it in Oracle Virtualbox on Windows.
It all seems to load fine but I can't log into xbmc!
I get a nice looking xbmc splash screen flashing on my screen a few times, then it jumps to a login screen
To proceed I have to select 'Other', I'm then trying the username xbmc and no password, this doesn't work with XBMC selected at the bottom but if I select XBMCbuntu with the same login details it loads the desktop. When I try to start XBMC from Sound & Video > XBMC Media Center, the XBMC splash screen loads then quickly disappears, and I'm back on the desktop. What am I missing here?
