zub, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (1.08). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?
If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status Confirmed. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-1.08 ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1472794 Title: [Acer Aspire 5250] Black screen after upgrade to 3.19.0-22-generic Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: After upgrade to linux-image-3.19.0-22-generic on Acer Aspire 5250/HMA51-BZ there is nothing displayed after Grub. Playing with (Ctrl-)Alt-F1, F2, ..., F7, F8... doesn't have any visible effect - so neither VT nor X is visible. Removing "quiet splash" from kernel arguments also doesn't show anything after the message from grub that it's loading the kernel. The laptop seems to boot normally, I can hear the lightdm sound that it's ready, but I cannot see anything on the display. I can log in remotely. The backlight is on, so it's not a cause of no backlight. (I checked this by poking around /sys/class/backlight and I see it's set at full brightness.) If I boot linux-image-3.19.0-21-generic everything works OK. I don't see anything obvious when I look at the diff of dmesg between 3.19.0-21 and 3.19.0.22, but if it's useful I can attach dmesg from 3.19.0-21.
