JohnShep, 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 As per http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (P01-A1). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?
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, if the problem is still reproducible: 1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect): sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date 2) Please make a comment specifically advising on if there was an improvement or not. 3) Please mark this report Status Confirmed. If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-p01-a1 ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided =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/1530459 Title: Samsung SSD 840 failed to get NCQ Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: [100700.464034] ata4.00: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x1f0000 SErr 0x400100 action 0x6 frozen [100700.464040] ata4.00: irq_stat 0x08000000, interface fatal error [100700.464043] ata4: SError: { UnrecovData Handshk } [100700.464047] ata4.00: failed command: WRITE FPDMA QUEUED [100700.464053] ata4.00: cmd 61/40:80:00:30:30/00:00:00:00:00/40 tag 16 ncq 32768 out res 40/00:88:c0:30:30/00:00:00:00:00/40 Emask 0x10 (ATA bus error) [100700.464056] ata4.00: status: { DRDY } [100700.464058] ata4.00: failed command: WRITE FPDMA QUEUED [100700.464063] ata4.00: cmd 61/40:88:c0:30:30/00:00:00:00:00/40 tag 17 ncq 32768 out res 40/00:88:c0:30:30/00:00:00:00:00/40 Emask 0x10 (ATA bus error) [100700.464066] ata4.00: status: { DRDY } [100700.464068] ata4.00: failed command: WRITE FPDMA QUEUED [100700.464073] ata4.00: cmd 61/c0:90:40:31:30/00:00:00:00:00/40 tag 18 ncq 98304 out res 40/00:88:c0:30:30/00:00:00:00:00/40 Emask 0x10 (ATA bus error) [100700.464076] ata4.00: status: { DRDY } [100700.464078] ata4.00: failed command: WRITE FPDMA QUEUED [100700.464083] ata4.00: cmd 61/80:98:68:bd:75/00:00:01:00:00/40 tag 19 ncq 65536 out res 40/00:88:c0:30:30/00:00:00:00:00/40 Emask 0x10 (ATA bus error) [100700.464086] ata4.00: status: { DRDY } [100700.464088] ata4.00: failed command: WRITE FPDMA QUEUED [100700.464093] ata4.00: cmd 61/40:a0:a8:bf:75/00:00:01:00:00/40 tag 20 ncq 32768 out res 40/00:88:c0:30:30/00:00:00:00:00/40 Emask 0x10 (ATA bus error) [100700.464095] ata4.00: status: { DRDY } [100700.464099] ata4: hard resetting link [100700.784026] ata4: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) [100700.785561] ata4.00: supports DRM functions and may not be fully accessible [100700.785683] ata4.00: failed to get NCQ Send/Recv Log Emask 0x1 [100700.786069] ata4.00: supports DRM functions and may not be fully accessible [100700.786138] ata4.00: failed to get NCQ Send/Recv Log Emask 0x1 [100700.786237] ata4.00: configured for UDMA/133 [100700.786260] ata4: EH complete ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.10 Package: linux-image-4.2.0-22-generic 4.2.0-22.27 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.2.0-22.27-generic 4.2.6 Uname: Linux 4.2.0-22-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.19.1-0ubuntu5 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: john 1370 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: GNOME-Flashback:Unity Date: Fri Jan 1 19:52:28 2016 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=dedbb189-ef72-4e7e-911e-047a87675597 InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-12-26 (6 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 15.10 "Wily Werewolf" - Release amd64 (20151021) IwConfig: enp0s25 no wireless extensions. lo no wireless extensions.
