I run the release upgrade from a completely up-to-date 12.04 from the Update Manager and it completed without problem. After the upgrade had finished I performed the restart and faced the grub rescue> prompt and got puzzled understandably. Then I searched and found this bug and figured out that the error might be related to the boot order. I have 2 HDDs in the box - one IDE and one SATA -, with a single Xubuntu installation. The BIOS was set to boot from the IDE HDD, the OS resides on that. In the BIOS boot order I moved the SATA HDD before the IDE HDD and after a reboot 14.04 booted like a charm.
Thought I share my experience, since I didn't see this solution here above. True, the report above is rather lengthy and I didn't read through all the posts, so I'm sorry if I duplicated. -- 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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
