[Bug 1312787] Re: "error: symbol 'grub_term_highlight_color' not found" in Ubuntu 14.04

[aldo]

i have the same issue, on an HP notebook with a fresh install. i previously had a 13.04 which worked regularly.
i tried with boot-repair and manual purge-reinstall of grub-efi-amd64 plus grub-install, even with different target destination directories, aka  --boot-directory and --efi-directory. none of that worked.
i tried to use efibootmgr, set the ubuntu boot device from livecd and at the first startup grub works, but the next one doesn't. 
i guess pc's efi re-writes efi booting sequence and always looks in a particular partition, which one i haven't still understood.

Title:
  "error: symbol 'grub_term_highlight_color' not found" in Ubuntu 14.04

Status in “grub-customizer” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The error was detected in the upgrade to 14.04.

  Found in 2 HP PCs with identical hardware.
  One of them has this problem after a fresh install of 14.04.

  They have UEFI. Only one disk.

  Although the error message is similar, none of the methods described in the existing bugs fixes the problem:
  - Boot Repair
  - dpkg-reconfigure grub-efi-amd64

  We can avoid this message using the BIOS boot menu.
  The option "ubuntu" is present, and after choosing it, there is a functional Grub.
  From there, everything works OK.
