I am having the same issue myself after doing a fresh install of 14.04 64-bit. I have tried most (but admittedly not all, as I am new to Ubuntu) of the fixes listed in http://askubuntu.com/questions/17381 /unity-doesnt-load-no-launcher-no-dash-appears/ to no avail. As Ross stated above, after login I get wallpaper only, Ctrl-Alt-T doesn't get a terminal, but Ctrl-Alt-F1 works OK. I would only add that sometimes Ctrl-Alt-F1 does not work if it is not done fast enough. (After a bit, the whole thing locks up so bad that the keyboard and mouse no longer work.)
