This could well be fallout from a bad backport of a critical CVE fix.
Could you test 2.6.32-62.125 which is currently in -proposed which has
the fix for that issue (Bug #1327300), if it does then this bug can be
closed duplicate of that one.  Thanks!

Title:
  Linux 2.6.32-61 futex changes break existing applications

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I upgraded to this new kernel this morning and after rebooting, 2
  applications failed to work (consistently).

  These apps are:

  google-chrome-stable=27.0.1453.110-r202711 - process runs but no UI is visible
  skype=4.0.0.8-0lucid1 - UI is visible but connection to network never happens

  While originally trying to figure out what was going on I rebooted a
  few times and observed some other issues. Each of these was only
  observed once.

  compiz=1:0.8.4-0ubuntu15.3 failed to start (no window manager)
  USB mouse failed to work
  GDM visual glitches

  I ran strace /opt/google/chrome/chrome and observed that the last
  thing it did was a call to futex.

  Booting the 2.6.32-60 kernel made these programs work. I've updated my
  grub config to boot this kernel by default as a workaround.
