The system should have booted to the desktop. It's a full operating system and emc is just one of the applications included.
In linux the system can run with or without a desktop depending on the run level called in the startup. What's most likely happening is the system was unable to start the desktop and is remaining at a non-desktop run level. For this type of help the best place to ask is ubuntuforums.org. That's not to say no help will be offered here, just that there are better places for this question.
Maybe this will help a little

If that doesn't help, tell us a little about your computer. In particular the graphics hardware and the amount of ram.
Anyone who says "It only goes together one way" has no imagination.
