I upgraded from 13.04 (via 13.10) to 14.04, and found this problem, and I need help to straighten it.
I get the grub rescue prompt with the error " symbol `grub-term- highlight-color' not found". I managed to get the boot options after loading the kernel from the grub rescue prompt (though it did show some errors), and could boot into linux. After that, I am unable to reboot correctly, except by a series of commands at the grub rescue prompt. I found that I did not have the package grub-pc. I installed it however, and tried dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc. However, that has not helped. I tried to install boot-repair, but I get the following message: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair'. Please check that the PPA name or format is correct. What I found, however, was that I have efi boot on the Windows partition. I need help to set things right, so that I can reboot without problem.
