is there a work around so that i can still use it.

all i have to do is press ctrl+alt+del to restart in text mode then issue startx command
to get gui

Yes, 'fraid so. If my office was less of a disaster zone I'd fire up
the machine I used to do the builds on and have a go doing a fresh one, but
it'll be weeks before that's possible.

Which is what I now run.
