Hi, Tai,
Today I found there is a simliar bug, bug 1362098, does not exist anymore just with apt-get update command, could you give it a try? Thanks!

[Taihsiang Ho (tai271828)]

The issue could be reproduced after dist-upgrading 201405-15023 (to 3.13.0-46, updated 14.04.1)

[Taihsiang Ho (tai271828)]

fresh ubuntu 14.04.2 installation and updated 14.04.2 could still reproduce this issue.
