I can confirm that there is some regression going from grub2 2.00 to 2.02~beta2.
I have disk0 with traditional partition table and three partitions: sda1 is Windows boot sda2 is Windows system sda3 is linux Mint root partition (with /boot inside it) In the past I manually set up the Windows bootloader as to chainload with grub, therefore grub is installed only in sda3 boot sector. This worked well until I attempted upgrade to Mint Quiana via do-release-upgrade. After the upgrade the Windows bootloader came up as before, but selecting the item for Mint gave exactly the error reported here. Therefore I booted from a USB stick containing Boot-Repair-Disk (which I understand is really Lubuntu 13.04 "Raring Ringtail") and executed the following as root: grub-install --force --boot-directory=/mnt/boot-sav/sda3/boot /dev/sda3 It showed the usual warning about blocklists, but the error went away and I was able to boot linux Mint through the Windows bootloader. Once inside Mint I executed the following as root: grub-install --force --boot-directory=/boot /dev/sda3 At the next boot the same identical error about "symbol 'grub_term_highlight_color' not found" was to be seen. The relevant difference seems to be that Boot-Repair-Disk has grub2 2.00 while Mint Quiana has grub2 2.02~beta2. -- 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
