exit out of xbmc and you will get a login screen. Log into the xbmcbuntu session instead of the xbmc session. Use the username and password you set up when you installed xbmcbuntu.
(NB when you reboot the system will go into whatever session was open before you rebooted, so it pays to exit xbmcbuntu session and start an xbmc session before rebooting or closing down. WAF will be lowered if W gets a desktop instead of XBMC.)

Yes, it worked. Thanks. But, how to enable sound on the desktop? I have sound in xbmc.
I tried the volume control settings (muting and un-muting), but to no avail.
Thanks for any tips!

How is your sound delivered? HDMI? Anything other than the default device will mean setting up an asound.conf.

Thanks again. It is HDMI indeed (in XBMC something like SONY TV HDMI #3). Is there easy way without going into Linux difficulties?
