Hello Alberto,

I expected that could be the issue but two things that made me not 100% 
sure:

(1) I didn't know the LiveUSB session will add "forcepae" during 
installation to the installed system. I just learned that :)

(2) Since the system is bootable (after installing the updates or 
upgrade to 14.04.1) but not usable after logging to the desktop, I 
expected it might not be the Kernel or the "forcepae" option.

Now, with the bug you mentioned, things are more clear.

I am going to try that but not sure exactly how to do it since the 
desktop is not usable but I think tty1 (Ctrl+Alt+F1) will do the trick.

Will try and report back, thanks :)
