I have the same problem. I have 13.10 installed on a VM using VirtualBox. This VM is single- boot, but uses lvm with boot on /dev/sda1 and several disks in the lvm. In particular, root (/) is in the logical volume. On upgrade to 14.04, I got the dreaded "symbol 'grub_term_highlight_color' not found" error and the VM is no longer bootable. I tracked through several of the work-arounds, but I have not found instruction on how to mount the (lvm) root partition when booting a live CD, so I cannot see how to re-install grub.
I did nothing other than attempt to upgrade to 14.04. I did not re- install anything (I have never succeeded in booting the upgraded system) and the old system was working fine. I do not see how this could be my fault, and I cannot find instructions that I can follow to repair the upgrade. (I am a reasonably sophisticated user, but by no means a system administrator.) I guess I will have to revert to the 13.10 "snapshot", but I would be willing to provide any information about the failed system before I do so. There is no personal information on this VM, so if you want a copy (about 10GB) tell me how to give it to you. -- 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
