hi,

after upgrade had no unity launcher blank desktop - removed fglrx drivers , ensure case purged them too. went on download new drivers amd 13.1 , installed per normal way. failed not find version.h in /lib/modules/3.8.0.19-generic/build.

ok undid did , got blank desktop again luckly able use alt + ctrl + t terminal in opened software-sources , installed opensource ati driver (which makes cards fan go @ full speed). i've since done apt-get install fglrx , again i've got desktop no launcher when try both ccsm , unity --replace desktop crashes , have restart pc.
