Ubuntu 16.04 suddenly starts booting into Kodibuntu or something like it


Last week, I saw a dropdown next to the login field for Ubuntu with a few "boot options" or something like that, one of them being Kodi. I was curious and wanted to see what it was so I picked Kodi and rebooted. Nothing happened, and I forgot about it.

Today I had to reboot for another reason and Ubuntu is now booting into a fullscreen version of kodi (Kodibuntu?) with seemingly no way to exit. I can't alt-tab, I can't open a terminal (neither ctrl-alt-t or f1/f4 work). I looked in the system settings and I see no way to revert it. I can see that my document's are still there using Kodi's file browser but can't access any of them. I really need this fixed today, please help.


Solution

    you can exit the full screen version of kodibuntu by following the steps outlined in the link above. Sorry if this is unclear but a screenshot would be useful to know what screen you're on.
