@psusi, Thanks for the suggestions - As my laptop is currently running a fresh install of 13.04, I'm not sure the requested information is relevant:

In every dual-boot installation I have done I have needed to run boot-repair. 12.xx and 13.xx installations have resulted in functional systems (after boot-repair). Both 14.04 upgrade and install resulted in this error. If grub-efi needs to be installed instead of grub-pc, why is this not done by the installer? -- 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
