Thanks, I managed to resolve my issue and had actually mis-diagonised it. I had previously tweaked my xorg.cong file to use two monitors and seems after the upgrade the login prompt moved to the second monitor not the default one which is why it looked like I could not login.
So reset it back to use one monitor for now.
