I installed XBMCbuntu under VMWare player in Windows.
I ran the full installation to a virtual disk.
When I ran XBMCbuntu and selected XBMC Media Centre from sound and vision but nothing happened.
I ran the updates from terminal but still nothing.
I then did a manual install from terminal but again, nothing.
I then decided to set it up so that it just ran from the virtual CD.
When prompted for a password the window gave a name of other.
Looking through the wiki documentation, it said to enter xbmc as the username, with no password.
On doing this and hitting login, the login window disappeared for a second and then returned.
I returned to the full setup and when logging in noticed an icon at the top of the screen with a spanner.
The drop down gave me two options to select, xbmc and xbmcbuntu
Selecting xmbcbuntu gave me a prompt to login with my own username, which bought me back to the main screen where I am unable to launch xbmc media centre.
If I select the option for xbmc I am presented with the other login prompt, where I am unable to go any further because it will not accept any login credentials at all.
I'm completely stuck as to what to do now.
