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

[Michael Tsikerdekis]

I managed to get it work. Have a look here for the solution:

windows/23164859

You will have to adapt your configuration to reflect your system's setup
but I've posted mine so you should have enough to get it work. You will
have to downgrade the files mentioned here by another user. Then an
additional step is needed to make Windows 8 (in my case work).

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

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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"
