The specific error message in the logs is:

Your bug report says that you are running Ubuntu 14.04, however these error messages indicate you are not running upstart as your init system. Are you running Ubuntu in a chroot on a non-upstart system? If so you should have a policy-rc.d in place to disable starting of services in the chroot. Have you done something to cause an init system other than upstart to be used on Ubuntu 14.04? If so that is entirely unsupported.
