Thanks for you help, I tried the clean as suggested, this is the result.

peter@myth:~$ 

After the initial bug reported in this thread, I was not able to boot my
system.

I had to roll back to 3.13.0-46 using the GRUB menu before I could
successfully boot my system.

peter@myth:~$ uname -r
3.13.0-46-generic
peter@myth:~$ lsb_release -sr
14.04

I am very much a Linux Newbie, and just use this system as myth backend.
