Hey Martin, switching to UEFI/SecureBoot on Ubuntu 14.04 is not trivial, but also not that hard if you follow this guide:
http://aaron-kelley.net/blog/2011/12/migrating-an-ubuntu-installation- from-bios-to-uefi/ It's not perfect, but the best one I could find. But what do you mean by "keeping Windows"? You certainly don't need Windows to migrate your system to UEFI if you meant that. I only used Windows for flashing the BIOS, nothing else. For switching to UEFI, you just need a bootable Live-USB stick with Ubuntu (or similar). Concerning the touchpad problems: I disassembled my laptop to a point that I could inspect the touchpad and then covered everything on its back (just using clear sellotape) which looked like it could short out something when it's pressed. My mouse pointer never spazzed out since then. ACER's quality control isn't the best it seems. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1400175 Title: Acer Aspire ES1-311-P1D5 won't shutdown after system halted To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1400175/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
