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.
