Hi, I'm new to Ubuntu so all of this is new to me. I installed 13.10 and had a GRUB issue with it, so I ran a boot-repair DVD and that solved the GRUB issue in 13.10. After opening my brand new 13.10 OS, it asked if I wanted to upgrade to 14.04. I did and I get the "grub_term_highlight_color not found" error every time I boot my computer. Here's my output for debconf-show grub-pc and parted -l: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo debconf-show grub-pc grub2/kfreebsd_cmdline: grub2/linux_cmdline: grub-pc/install_devices_failed: false grub-pc/chainload_from_menu.lst: true grub-pc/postrm_purge_boot_grub: false grub2/kfreebsd_cmdline_default: quiet splash grub2/linux_cmdline_default: quiet splash grub-pc/hidden_timeout: true grub-pc/install_devices: grub-pc/partition_description: grub2/device_map_regenerated: grub-pc/kopt_extracted: false grub-pc/disk_description: grub-pc/install_devices_empty: false grub-pc/timeout: 10 grub-pc/install_devices_failed_upgrade: true grub-pc/install_devices_disks_changed: grub-pc/mixed_legacy_and_grub2: true ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo parted -l Model: ATA Hitachi HTS72505 (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 500GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos

I chose sda5 as the partition for the /tmp/drive and /tmp/mount-point to mount /dev, /proc, and /sys as that looked to me to be the drive where Ubuntu is installed. In the dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc application, I (1) left the Linux command line blank, (2) left the default "quiet splash" as is in the prompt, and (3) made sda the drive for reconfiguration. I'm at a loss what to do. I'd like to have the option to dual boot to either Ubuntu or windows but I can't do that as long as GRUB is broken. Do I need to delete and re-install GRUB 2.02 or do I have to downgrade GRUB 2.02 to 2.0 or what? P.S. When you mount something in the terminal, does it really mount it even though the terminal just displays another prompt and makes no indication that anything was mounted? If it's supposed to say something, then maybe I mounted the files wrong. -- 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
