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

[Adam Niedling]

I'm still on 13.10 cuz I'm waiting with the upgrade. I just checked the
file mentioned by Francesco:

$ cat /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme | grep highlight
			echo "${1}set menu_color_highlight=black/light-gray"
			echo "${1}set menu_color_highlight=white/blue"
		echo "  set color_highlight=${3}"

Does it mean that my upgrade is gonna fail too because I don't have
"grub_term_highlight_color" in 05_debian_theme?

Why is it not there? Has it been removed by something? Is it gonna be
put there by something during upgrade? Why is it so crucial for grub
that it refuses to start without it?

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

Status in Ubuntu Release Upgrader:
  New
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"
