Title:
  Acer Aspire 1 A114-31-C4ZV installation problem

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Hi there,

  It seems that Acer Aspire 1 computers, after some time searching
  forums, is not compatible with Ubuntu.

  I tried with 16.04.4 LTS and 17.10.1, on several usb devices, with rufus to build the bootable key, trying automatic and manual partitions, many times, and the error, which comes on several places, is
  ```
  /usr/lib/ubiquity/frontend/gtk_components/nmwidgets.py:{18,131}:Warning: Source ID <INT> was not found when attemting to remove it
  ```

  It is only a warning, but takes seconds to appears. So after a thousand times, hours have passed.
  Its happens manly during grub2 installation.

  I did C^c during grub2 install, then reboot to retry to install in a
  different way; then ubuntu successfully booted. I tried directly to
  update/upgrade but apt asked "dpkg --configure -a" to be ran, which I
  did, which stopped at the memory image processing, then started an
  infinite loop. C^c, then reboot, then the graphical environment was
  broken, and also the BIOS (after this install, only a cursor appeared
  on a black screen when starting the BIOS).

  So I booted on Ubuntu, on the disk manager deleted the UEFI partition,
  then reboot. I could use the BIOS again, and now I am here. Help.

  Regards,

  A desperate user.
