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

[xreuze]

_dan_(dan-void).. That happens when grub is your boot loader manager. Even in old versions with multiple operational systems the grub in it self was not the problem. Usually when i install ubuntu and i thick the radio button to install with what ever existing operation system is on the hda or hdd or what ever the drive letter is needed.  It is hard since MBR which is master boot record to code a boot loader config file two load clean when a kernel wants the first bit to load from a location where a other OS is.  Best to have disk partion done by gparted where you have adequate disk space over 4 giga to make smooth install. Grub will address a hex prefix to read the first bit from that installation. How ever when you do the installation of 14.04 lts there is still things every one needs to do since the time when you downloaded and made a boot usb or dvd or cd and when canonical uploaded it out was passed it is almost impossible to be up to date distro. Everyone needs to add in more by update to latest KERNEL module etc. 
This site will get your system up to date after new install or if you migrated .

Use always the ubuntu - tweak janitor to keep your system clean to void
bugs with new KERNEL.

Hope all this helped everyone.

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

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

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"
