[Bug 1312787] Re: "error: symbol 'grub_term_highlight_color' not found" in Ubuntu 14.04

[Phillip Susi]

If I understand you correctly, you are saying that the Windows EFI
directory has copies of the grub efi file, and these copies are now out
of date after upgrading ubuntu, so when you try to use them from the
Windows boot loader menu, they fail.

How did these copies get there?  I do not believe that they were put
there by Ubuntu, and they should not be there.  If the windows loader is
going to chain load grub, it needs to load the correct file from the
ubuntu directory instead of keeping its own copy.

Title:
  "error: symbol 'grub_term_highlight_color' not found" in Ubuntu 14.04

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The error was detected in the upgrade to 14.04.

  Found in 2 HP PCs with identical hardware.
  One of them has this problem after a fresh install of 14.04.

  They have UEFI. Only one disk.

  Although the error message is similar, none of the methods described in the existing bugs fixes the problem:
  - Boot Repair
  - dpkg-reconfigure grub-efi-amd64

  We can avoid this message using the BIOS boot menu.
  The option "ubuntu" is present, and after choosing it, there is a functional Grub.
  From there, everything works OK.
