Thanks Phillip, I'll file my last point as a separate report as you suggest. I take it that this should go down as a grub2 issue.
However to your point: > You only get prompted to reconfigure if the previous configuration > is broken. That is to say, it says to install to a drive that is no > longer present.

I can accept that this makes sense as a design intent, and is what the implementation should do. But what do you mean by "broken" here. In my case, I never configured grub in the first place other than through the initial Ubuntu guided process, and I upgraded Ubuntu successfully to 13.04 and 13.10 on this system without issue. So why was it suddenly "broken" for the 14.04 upgrade? I have three system partitions: the original /dev/sda1 as Win7, /dev/sda4 as the Lenovo diagnostics and /dev/sda5 as my Ubuntu partition. GRUB was installed on /dev/sda. (sda2 is my Win7 user partition and sda6 LVM2). Pretty straight forward and unchanged since my initial install. If I want to dick around with systems I use VMs. However, there's no point in debating this further as we've been through these arguments a few times and are repeating ourselves. Either the counts will continue to rack up or they won't. Thanks for your input anyway :-) PS. I know GRUB 1.5 is politically incorrect with GRUB2, but IMO if it quacks like a duck ... Maybe you should correct the Wikipedia article on Grub. :-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1289977 Title: Ubuntu 14.04 Update breaks grub, resulting in "error: symbol 'grub_term_highlight_color' not found" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1289977/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
