also affects me. clean install of ubuntu 14.04 onto a small 32 gig SSD with home partition on a 3TB drive and win7 on another 1TB drive. install done with a usb stick. i didn't bother using the ubuntu "make a startup disk" tool. just used dd to write the iso onto the usb stick. unity appeared/loaded ok on first boot where i installed the fglrx-updates package for my AMD graphics chip. had problems on second and subsequent boots of error message on boot of "error: malformed file, press any key to continue". as i selected auto login during install the desktop appears but not the unity toolbar/dashboard, etc leaving it pretty unusable. i can still get to other tty screens with ctrl+alt+F2 and i tried purging fglrx-updates and replaced it with fglrx. no dice. same problem. i purged unity and replaced with gnome and gdm. lots of system error popup messages. still not usable.
