I got my machine too boot again: * I Used the Super Grub Disk to boot into the existing installation on my laptop * I checked /etc/mtab to see which device was mounted (in my case /dev/sda) * then I ran "sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/boot /dev/sda"
For people using the Super Grub Disk: selecting the mysterious option "everything" will enable you to select the existing boot configuration on your hard disk. If you booted from an external CD drive, you can remove it after booting. The boot repair disk was not an option. It refuses to boot when burned to CD, adding the repository failed (the command add-apt-repository does not exist), and downloading the debs only gives a message "enresolvable dependencies", even when extra library debs were downloaded and tried first. -- 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
