Seeing as how there have been hundreds of disjointed complaints in this thread, that is possible. This is why I tried to get people to file their own reports until they could be triaged and truly identified to be the same, or a different issue, but alas, that didn't happen so now it's all ajumble. Of that jumble I did spend some time trying to carefully look into quite a few before it became clear to me that they fall into basically the same category, with perhaps three different subtle variations. > I installed Ubuntu Gnome 14.10 by deleting all of my old Linux > partitions and installing fresh.

Then your 14.10 install did not install grub correctly ( i.e. it failed to install, or installed it to a place your system did not actually boot from ), leaving the previous grub install you had to try and fail to boot. > So, psusi, the problem is with the version of Grub included in > Ubuntu 14.04 and 14.10.

I understand what causes this message, and the possible ways that could occur ( in general; perhaps there are still one or two subtle variations I have not yet identified ), and confirmed these were in fact, the ways that many of the people posting here arrived there. The bottom line is that this message happens because you have one version of grub in your MBR, and a different version in your /boot directory. This does not happen when ubiquity installs grub successfully and to the correct place. The only way that ubiquity installs grub successfully but to the wrong place is when you either explicitly tell it to install to the wrong place, or if you have multiple disks, in which case it assumes your system boots from sda, and if this is not the case, then yes, you do need to manually tell it the correct drive and there just isn't anything we can do about that other than your manual intervention there ( and then you only get this error if you previously had installed an older version of grub on the drive your system actually boots from ). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEcBAEBCgAGBQJUVFXqAAoJENRVrw2cjl5R6esH/3q6H0iVe20l4Cv5gQRDbJDx /2ZKg9tV+hD/V1PYWeG/+Cwo/mqN9/TL2NHcC492Nz3u0iQDqKGiXe9XZH0U81VV G29fXJJJ7iWOWY7Qd0ysdJ/RNfeXFsARcPQiVCD8g8kl+2W89wcbcauYdC2UsA4r zNUUv65PgQGWINXSCjrctr/By7eH5SPFS86mAPXZPh5Zq2ivYjuj860JhRcLAiFH V+NoJKIvyGQbKOW3slEIfh8FCM3CIOUD2psOCcOOJmG0k0QcdQmc6J2s1w908b4s mawApy77e6t8dfjyHpO77yhZwo2xo9sBqAjBmnUDv5pnk7YRyrTXupvIhPFLvhk= =SJi0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- 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
