And I just remembered that I have some logs from the newer failure that
might help. I will post short excerpts here as otherwise there is
nothing to distinguish them from the logs of the older failure.

More information: I found that 352.63 also claimed to support my nvidia
graphics card. I installed it. It made me reconfigure my xorg.conf.
Putting "Intel" as the default driver allowed me to see the login screen. But
whenever I entered the correct password, X would crash and send me back to the

included an nvidia driver update (340.96-0ubuntu0.14.04.1), pushed back

And here I am realizing I should have said more. Both versions performed
identically, but I wrote a lot more about the 3.13 because I could
compare the effects of installing it from the upstream source with the
effects of installing it from the package manager. Whereas the most I
could say about th
Sorry, my comment wasn't clear. I tested both 3.13.whatever and linux-

I know I took a long time again. My primary observation is that this bug
does not appear when the nvidia driver is not installed.
I tested the upstream kernel version that matches the most recent
repository kernel update(as well as the most recent upstream kernel
version) before installing the mos
Nicholas, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available
from the very top line at the top of the page from
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D (the release
names are irrelevant for testing, and please do not test the daily
folder)? Install instructions are available
Okay so I updated my BIOS. Summary: I detect no change.
On my first restart I tried using the latest kernel I have installed
(3.13.0-63), and got the black screen. I noticed that the backlight
stays off when I get the blank screen. Unfortunately I cannot say
whether or not this is new. I feel that
Sorry for the delay. I am still working up the nerve to update my BIOS.
In the meantime, I thought it might be useful if I mentioned that the
most recent set of updates I got broke this for kernel version 3.13.0-59

Nicholas, as per http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers an update

does it change anything?
If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, a
Sorry I took so long. Trying to test the upstream kernel took some
figuring out and I had to go on a trip. I could not get the upstream
kernel to install the nvidia driver (or the kernel headers), without the

give me a graphical

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream stable kernel?
Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the
latest v3.13 stable kernel[0].
If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

Well for some reason it submitted it in the middle of typing. The end of
