I've installed Odoo (version 8.0) on an Ubuntu 14.04 server. Pretty much out of the box (I only set the admin password), I can create databases, but when I try to do anything else, I just get a mostly-blank screen and a Javascript error (`openerp.init is not a constructor` in Firefox, `undefined is not a function` in Chrome/Safari). The "settings" menu option does show up, but does not do anything (obviously, given the fact that the Javascript doesn't work).

The database *does* get created (I can see it in the postgres database). The login screen also shows up (but logging in gives me the same error again), and the 'manage databases' link on it does still work. I can create additional databases, drop them, all of that works. I just can't actually *do* anything with the databases. 

I've looked around in the Odoo documentation, but I can't find anything. Looking online for the error itself, I only get people who've caused this by installing add-ons (I didn't), or who say you can fix this by dropping the databases (it doesn't work), or using a different browser (none of Safari, Firefox, and Chrome work). 

It also sometimes simply hangs trying to load one of the Javascript files (with names like `web/js/web.assets_backend/fa4f621`).
