The solution to this issue is banally simple actually... There is no
point reinstalling grub over and over again (which I did) or use Boot-
Repair to death... You just need to give Grub what it asks for.
So I went and edited /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme, adding the last line
below:
set_default_theme(){
case $GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR in
Tanglu|Ubuntu|Kubuntu)
# Set a monochromatic theme for Tanglu/Ubuntu.
echo "${1}set menu_color_normal=white/black"
echo "${1}set menu_color_highlight=black/light-gray"
echo "${1}set
grub_term_highlight_color=black/light-gray"
running "sudo update-grub" after that did the trick, and I am now
writing from a fully functional Xubuntu 14.04.
I would however like to stress my disappointment and frustration about
how appalling it is of Canonical/Ubuntu to release an LTS with such a
stupid bug in it on such a fundamental piece of software. Furthermore,
there is no documentation to be found anywhere online on what the bloody
"grub_term_highlight_color" is supposed to do. Lucikily, a simple test
solved the issue.
