psil0cybin, as per http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers an update is available for your BIOS (1.10). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything?
If not, 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 Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Thank you for your understanding. ** Summary changed: - blackscreen after boot after splash sceen + 8086:0be1 blackscreen after boot after splash sceen ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 765438 8086:2a42 On startup, the backlight is off on laptop ** Tags added: bios-outdated-v1.10 ** Summary changed: - 8086:0be1 blackscreen after boot after splash sceen + 8086:0be1 [Acer AOD270] Blackscreen after boot after splash sceen -- You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/1250298 Title: 8086:0be1 [Acer AOD270] Blackscreen after boot after splash sceen Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Current Operating System: Linux 3.2.0-56-generic-pae #86-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 23 17:51:27 UTC 2013 i686 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Atom Processor D2xxx/N2xxx Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) I get a blackscreen 50 percent of the time i boot into the new kernel, if i restart enough times I will eventually get in..I usually resort to using the previous kernel instead of rebooting 35 times to get into Ubuntu! Only with the new kernel does this issue happen, every other kernel is fine..someone said intel is not supporting the new kernels...this is bad news for me...very bad.
