@psusi,

You seem to not be listening to people.

All of the things that you say are the case are in fact not the case at all. And all of the things that you say are not the case are precisely the case.

I installed Ubuntu Gnome 14.10 by deleting all of my old Linux partitions and installing fresh. And I only have one HD. After installing, Grub was broken, with the indicated error.

After a little digging, I realized that "grub_term_highlight_color" was a symbol internal to Grub. It was being used in several Grub module files.

Then, I noticed that both Ubuntu 14.04 and 14.10 include the 2.02beta version of Grub. I wondered why the Ubuntu people were packaging releases (and LTS releases even!) with beta versions of the bootloader.

So, I downgraded to Grub 2.00 and everything worked perfectly fine for me. The module files for Grub 2.00 do not (AFAIK) include the undefined symbol "grub_term_highlight_color"

So, psusi, the problem is with the version of Grub included in Ubuntu 14.04 and 14.10. You are just making stuff up, and dismissing people's problems solely on the basis of your fabrications. Either provide constructive help or don't post.
