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

[Gabriel Guerreiro]

I have grub-customizer.
Other than that, I never installed GRUB manually, as long a I can remember.

The dates of the files in April 2013 make me guess these entries were created in the upgrade from 12.10 to 13.04.
The upgrade to 13.10 did not update these files, as well as to 14.04
It failed only now because the new GRUB bootloader is binary incompatible.

The changes in the Windows EFI direcory were almost certainly made by Ubuntu.
The installed Windows 8 was never even started since Ubuntu was installed.

Was there some change in the EFI configuration or devices used by the installer or GRUB from 13.04 to 13.10?
It seems now it works differently but the old configs were kept and ignored and are still used by default.

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.
