[xbmcbuntu] Cannot login to almost fresh installation - subcityzero - 2013-05-26

Since my xbmcbuntu installation yesterday, I only did like apt-get upgrade, installed webservices like apache and PHP, and Sabnzbd.
But I don't know why, but my HTPC cannot establish a session.
When I login, the screen goes black, and I am returned to the login screen.

Do you guys have any tips to fix this?

This is what appends to my auth.log when I try to login:

Code:
May 26 14:59:15 xbmc-htpc lightdm: pam_unix(lightdm-greeter:session): session closed for user lightdm
May 26 14:59:16 xbmc-htpc lightdm: pam_unix(lightdm:session): session opened for user xbmc by (uid=0)

May 26 14:59:17 xbmc-htpc lightdm: pam_succeed_if(lightdm:auth): requirement "user ingroup nopasswdlogin" not met by user "xvmc"

And in my syslog:

Code:
May 26 14:57:44 xbmc-htpc acpid: client 2882[0:0] has disconnected
May 26 14:57:44 xbmc-htpc acpid: client connected from 3059[0:0]

looks like you named your user xvmc somewhere:
