change bootorder:

ls /boot/efi/EFI
Boot  Dell  Microsoft  ubuntu

After boot-repair most of my grubx64.efi files are up to date:

I could find grubx64.efi files in:
/boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu /grubx64.efi     --- date = up to date
/boot/efi/EFI/Boot/grubx64.efi:          --- date = up to date
/boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot              --- date = up to date
/boot/efi/EFI/Dell/Boot/grubx64.efi: --- date = Jul 25 2012 = 3 years old version

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

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

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"
