And at some point I'm going to have to take the plunge and actually give it a try! I've been reading these last months, looked at the config file etc. but not yet had the courage to actually do it.
then he said:- no courage need it, just do it
I was referring to making an ISO with snapshot when I wrote that. Until last night I had never given it a try.

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"
The snapshot ISO boots to a lightdm login screen. Couldn't login. Tried from alt+ctrl+F1. Couldn't login that way either. Maybe something to do with beta2? (I'm a few betas behind.)
