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

[Gabriel Guerreiro]

The copy in the windows directory was not the one causing the problem.

I manually copied the one in
     /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi
to
     /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi
The system boots normally now.
I don't think this is a non-standard BIOS configuration.
Ubuntu managed it well since 12.10.

None of these options
    boot-rescue
    grub-install
    dpkg-reconfigure grub-efi
are updating this file.

The option "backup and windows EFI files" of grub-rescue could not handle an hibernated Windows 8.
Maybe this option works, as repoted by some users in the comments to the related bug.
I did not test it. 

The problem exists in a new installation of 14.04 where the EFI
partition was recreated by the installer.

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

Status in “grub-customizer” package in Ubuntu:
  New
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.
