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

[Daniel]

This bug did effect me as well.

After upgrading from 13.10 to 14.04 grub was broken and showed a »symbol
'grub_term_highlight_color' not found« error.

Tried all tipps from the original bug report (Boot Repair, dpkg-reconfigure, grub-install in several variations): 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1289977

I have a »Packard Bell imedia S - DT.U7HEG.037«. Boot Repair Log:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/7738222/

The system is using EFI, as stated above by Gabriel, .efi files are
located at all kind of places and Ubuntu/Grub picks the wrong one.

Found a solution on askubuntu and then stumbled upon this ticket: 
http://askubuntu.com/questions/449680/upgrading-from-13-10-to-14-04-broke-grub/476765#476765
* Boot using »Super Grub« CD
* Copy the existing, correct Boot EFI file to the location which Ubuntu/Grub is actually using: »sudo cp /mnt/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi /mnt/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi«

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.
