[Bug 1289977] Re: Ubuntu 14.04 Update breaks grub, resulting in "error: symbol 'grub_term_highlight_color' not found"

[Tamás Pénzes]

After I've updated my system and rebooted today it happened again.
Then did a "dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" as menitoned above, but right after then removed the old kernels with synaptic.
Rebooted again, and got the same error: "symbol 'grub_term_highlight_color' not found".

So it looks so, that this ticket is still valid. Grub is still buggy...

I boot from an OCZ 128GB SATA3 2,5" Vertex 4 VTX4-25SAT3-128G SSD with Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD5H motherboard.
After manual grub install it works well, when removing/adding a kernel grub brakes something during the update...

Title:
  Ubuntu 14.04 Update breaks grub, resulting in "error: symbol
  'grub_term_highlight_color' not found"

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The update from 13.10 to 14.04 via update-manager broke grub for me,
  which resulted in the grub error:

  "symbol 'grub_term_highlight_color' not found"

  on startup.

  To fix the problem I had to boot to my persisting Ubuntu installation
  (e.g. using Super Grub Disk) and had to reinstall grub on my boot
  partition: "sudo grub-install --recheck /dev/sdx"
