Hi Doug,

This would happen with any user. LightDM 0.4.3 is heavily broken. The only way to login is to select 'Other...' and type the username and password - or use a different display manager

Brendan - thanks - see this now for all with fresh 07/15 iso
The 'other' method seems best, while gdm works it is causing problems doing a subsequent logout/in, crashes to black/blank screen
Can't see filing bug on gdm at this point
