** Description changed: I installed many times first ubuntu then win 10 or vice versa. Ubuntu 16.10 installation hangs when it tries to install grub. I made the installation following last post in this topic http://askubuntu.com/questions/862946/unable-to-install-ubuntu-on-acer-aspire-es1-533 . The problem is that you cannot put linux uefi boot manager to take over before windows boot manager. I can boot linux by pressing F12 which brings up the laptop boot menu , where i am presented by the dialog to choose windows boot manager or linux. If I don't press F12 computer boots windows 10. I can see the boot order of EFi with sudo efibootmgr and I can see that windows boot manager is before linux. sudo efibootmgr BootCurrent: 0000 Timeout: 0 seconds BootOrder: 0003,0000,2001,2002,2003 Boot0000* Linux Boot0001* Unknown Device: Boot0003* Windows Boot Manager Boot2001* EFI USB Device Boot2002* EFI DVD/CDROM Boot2003* EFI Network Now, when I try to change the order and put Linux boot loader to be first with the command sudo efibootmgr -o 0000,0003,2001,2002,2003 pc freezes same as it froze during installation when it tried to install grub. I have also tested with latest efibootmgr on ubuntu 17.04 alpha with same results. + The funny thing is that this laptop came with linpus pre installed that + never booted. I contacted Acer Greece support and they told me to + install only Windows 10.I thought I ve seen many things in computers and + IT . I would never imagine that a laptop with original OS Linux would + have such big problems with linux. + + ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.10 Package: efibootmgr 0.12-4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.8.0-41.44-generic 4.8.17 Uname: Linux 4.8.0-41-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.3-0ubuntu8.2 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: KDE Date: Fri Mar 10 13:33:48 2017 Dependencies: gcc-6-base 6.2.0-5ubuntu12 libc6 2.24-3ubuntu2 libefivar0 0.23-2 libgcc1 1:6.2.0-5ubuntu12 InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-03-09 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 16.10 "Yakkety Yak" - Release amd64 (20161012.1) SourcePackage: efibootmgr UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install)
