Public bug reported: I am having trouble with grub ever since. In an earlier version I could manage that my laptop is able to boot (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1187345 ) However, since an update to version Ubuntu 14.04 boot is crashing again. Since then I am living with the workaround to interrupt booting and switch into BIOS (by pressing F12) and select a boot option from there.
After my latest update I restarted my Computer. No Boot possible. black screen, a terrible beep occurs every 2 seconds. No possibility to get into BIOS and its boot menu. after several attempts of turning on / off the computer I got an: "error: symbol 'grub_term_highlight_color' not found" - error, and I reached the grub-rescue shell. I checked the www for help, nevertheless I failed to boot linux from there. Somehow I managed to boot the system by inserting a "super grub2 disk" which enabled me to get to the BIOS and boot from there. ************************************************ The system is now up and running, but I am aware, that grub is still not working properly and I will encounter the same problems when rebooting. Since I never switched to Windows 8 for more than a year, I would be OK with getting rid of it, if it would help to get rid of my boot problems. In https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1187345 it is recommended to run: dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc to solve a similar problem. However, since I need to run grub-efi, this doesn't work for me. Question: Is there a similar solution for grub-efi that should solve my issue? Thanks in advance for any help! *********************************************** > sudo blkid -o list -w /dev/null device fs_type label mount point UUID --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /dev/sda1 ntfs (not mounted) 8E0E275F0E274017 /dev/sda2 vfat ESP /boot/efi 8A41-0068 /dev/sda3 vfat DIAGS (not mounted) B0A1-D5FA /dev/sda4 vfat (not mounted) 6031-844D /dev/sda5 ntfs WINRETOOLS (not mounted) CC3835143834FF50 /dev/sda6 ntfs OS (not mounted) 826EEB9A6EEB84EF /dev/sda7 swap <swap> 682361fb-1f18-488c-8523-5bb19e91b857 /dev/sda8 ext4 / e01b9ef4-5bb9-42fc-a11e-826469dcacca -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Affects: grub2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1476852 Title: boot fails on dual boot UEFI System To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1476852/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
