This bug was generated after a drive shared with a windows 8.1 machine was put into hybrid state due to windows 8.1 shutting down in hybrid state. The hybrid state prevents Ubuntu from mounting the shared drive even if the windows machine is off. Start Windows 8.1 and remove the hybrid state shut down option before shutting Windows 8.1 down. This allowed Ubuntu to auto mount the shared drive and start normally. The background image for my Ubuntu install is located in a folder located on the shared drive.
