[Bug 1655623] Re: can't run ubuntu on acer ES1-533 from usb

[Martin Lenikus]

It is confirmed that it is not an Ubuntu specific bug. It can be
installed and booted according to the guide here:
http://community.acer.com/t5/E-F-and-M-Series-Laptops/Acer-Aspire-
ES-15-ES1-533-C3UW-Legacy-BIOS-Missing/td-p/471754/page/2

So it is only a bad UEFI of this model making it difficult to install
any Linux distribution (although not impossible).

Title:
  can't run ubuntu on acer ES1-533 from usb

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When trying to install Ubuntu 16.04 on an Acer ES1-533 laptop I get to the Grub Screen and then the process comes to a halt. The grub is GNU GRUB version 2.02~beta 2-36 ubuntu 3.1. I have been in touch with Acer but they are only interested in anything to do with windows and have no plans to update the UEFI on this machine.
  If I wait over an hour Ubuntu does load but it does not run properly. so something is very wrong.
