[Simon Greenwood <851055@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a  slightly different scenario here: I created a new user from
the command line as I broke my original user (and that is another
problem altogether) and while having fixed most permission problems
using vigr, found that I couldn't shut the machine down or mount USB
drives. Following the solution from christianwolf above, I looked at
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and found that autologin was set to the old
username. Commenting that out and rebooting has given me access to the
USB drive and I'm yet to test rebooting.
