Ok, i rebuilt the VM as it only takes about 10mins to recreate. I ran the following before the update:

sudo DISPLAY=:0 xprop -root |grep NAMES.S
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "SKIP", "gb,us", "mac,", ""

and then again after the update:

sudo DISPLAY=:0 xprop -root |grep NAMES.S
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "SKIP", "us", "U.S. English", ""

The only way i can do anything is by using an ssh session to the VM at the moment. I cannot login into GDM.
I have tried logging in remotely and doing a service gdm shutdown and then a start but makes no difference.

I am happy to setup a new VM without the updates and go through a troubleshooting process if anyone has any ideas as to
what they would like me to supply them to compare what is different between the working and broken setups.
