(wish I could edit my previous post, but I guess I don't have rights for that yet)
It seems my previous questions has suddenly become more relevant. I somehow borked the simple steps listed above. (a combination of first performing the incomplete steps on the wiki, reverting them, making my own new user whilst in the train without internet to guide me, abandoning that and following the correct steps from this post, somewhere along there I messed up).
I can now log in on the CLI as `myself` but when I try this on the GUI login prompt the screen turns black, I wait a few seconds and get dumped back to the login screen without a error or anything. Fixed! At some point I deleted the `myself` home folder and recreated it as root so it was still owned by the root user, all I still had to do was:
`chown myself:myself /home/myself`
Now logging in for this user works!
