Suddenly can't use the Remote and can't see the mouse. If I move the mouse it wakes the screen up but I can't see it. Is there a keyboard command to quit XBMC and get back to XBMCbuntu? I don't want to power off the PC as it is running a background conversion of NTFS to EXT4 and I don't want to risk losing data.

Tried Alt+F1. Screen has not changed. I was exiting a program called Swiss Army Knife in the Programs Menu.

Pressed Control+Alt+F1 Now at a login prompt. Ubuntu 11.10 dave-desktop tty1. dave-desktop login:
Tried logging in with my username but tells me login incorrect. Also tried with xbmc and get same error.
Sorry. Now have the list of running processing. Which one do I kill?

Thanx for your help everyone. Sorted now. Just cancelled all XBMC instances and got back to desktop.
