Log out, can you then log in as your name rather than "user"?

FYI You should NEVER log on as root. Its unnecessary and unsecure.

I suggest you boot to recovery root console, make a new user using:

adduser newname admins

You can now reboot using:

shutdown -r now

and log on as the new user to diagnose the system.
