I am very new to Linux, I ran the installer. Everything completes.
I tried various usernames and passwords and set it to autologin and when it reboots it appears to be loading the XBMC software with the "blue bubbles" then it stops and says "XBMC" then it loads the bubbles again.
Same thing over and over again until I get to a login screen. I can login to Ubuntu.
All I want is the thing to boot up to XBMC and be an "on & off" type of solution.
I have also tried using XBMC\xbmc as the username and password when re-installing and doesnt work.

Most likely that means you do not have correct videodrivers installed.
You need drivers that support hardware accelerated OpenGL
The autologin is working but XBMC crashes as soon as you start it.

Please provide us with some more specific information on your hardware, so we can see whether your device supports running XBMC.
We really need type numbers or a link to the specifications of your specific type of PC.
We can than advice on the steps needed to install the correct drivers.

xbmcbuntu's xbmc session does not have a fallback. it runs xbmc on top of X without a window manager or anything. run the xbmcbuntu session if you want a desktop. this is all documented... (RTM??)
