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

[Gabriel Guerreiro]

I also think the cause/fix is the same.

These are also HP laptops: EliteBook 8470p.

There are a lot of .efi files around, but the BIOS picks
    /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi
 and I couldn't find how to configure another.

This file is not updated by any of the installers and we have to
manually replace it with a working version.

My solution was essentially what was described by https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1289977/comments/138.
Though I was careless enough not to create a backup.

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.
