If you can now log in as "user" with password "user", then there is a bug (cause i ran in the very same earlier. I didn't pay much notice, as yesterday, on hardware i didn't have that problem. And VirtualBox adds an extra layer of problems).
If that doesn't work, stop ligthdm again and startx as "user"

Something strange going on but it might be me I've always used the MBR before.
