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

[Jason Rennie]

I think this is essentially the same issue/fix as described by
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1289977/comments/138
(which I believe is distinct from MBR issues described in 1289977). I
also ran into the out-of-date EFI file issue. SatPhil's fix worked for
me, but I suspect that Gabriel's fix would have also worked.

My machine is ~3 years old. It came with Windows. I did a clean install
of Ubuntu (I don't use windows). I have 3 partitions: (1) EFI, (2)
Ubuntu, (3) swap.

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:
  Incomplete

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.
