Excuse me? The change of status from Confirmed to Opinion is just ridiculous. @psusi Could you explain the reasoning behind it?
There have been several users who have confirmed that they (we) had a perfectly working dual boot system which, after running the distribution upgrade (saying "yes" to the prompt whether to upgrade), were turned into unbootable bricks (fortunately reversible through a painful process). Under which point of view can this not be a bug? And if your answer is "because your system had been modified by manually reinstalling grub", then please consider that: 1 - that was the only possible way of having a working Ubuntu 13.10 alongside Windows 8 on a modern computer that came with Windows 8 preinstalled. There is no such thing as a clean install of Ubuntu 13.10 on a computer with Windows 8 preinstalled and a UEFI bios, because the installer was broken and was uncapable of installing Ubuntu alongside with Windows 8, so whoever installed Ubuntu was FORCED to use boot repair or something similar to get the dual boot to work. So, that situation HAS to be supported 2 - even if that didn't have to be supported and handled, it HAS TO be detected and the Distirbution Upgrade MUST warn the user that the system is in such a situation that it will be uncapable of upgrading without screwing things up, giving the option whether to continue or abort. It IS the distribution upgrade's job to check whether the conditions for performing a safe update are met, no matter what may cause them not to be met. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1289977 Title: Ubuntu 14.04 Update breaks grub, resulting in "error: symbol 'grub_term_highlight_color' not found" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1289977/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
