hey,

do you know how to get it back, to start ubuntu instead of xbmc when I have already fullscreen xbmc startup?

ANNOYING AS HELL!!! What's the point if you can't get back to your main screen?

Well you can do it by SSH into your xbox with your computer, I'm on mac and used Terminal.

type: ssh root@

after the @ put your IP of your box, you can find it in XBMC in the system settings

then type your ATV2 password. "alpine" without quotes is the default

THen type: apt-get remove org.tomcool.xbmc-booter

wait then hit the "Y" key

Auto boot will be removed

@velocitybird I've searched. I want to turn OFF autostart XBMC, like the others messages here. Can't do it!!

This is the first time in 2 weeks I've searched for an answer to my problem online and found a perfect, clear and complete answer straight away. Many thanks.
