I don't have a working Linux system to update GRUB. Booting the Aspire E15 from USB can often be achieved with Method 1 below, occasionally a quick modification of the BIOS settings may be required. The one thing that I haven't been able to pursue is modifying GRUB. The Acer Aspire E15 laptops work very well with the NinjaStik USB drives. Does anyone have any thoughts on how I can get Ubuntu to boot and install on this laptop? I really dislike using Windows and I seem to be stuck using it right now.

The closest I've seem to come was with the Debian installer (ncurses I think).īut I did not want to go through with install before I could boot and run in live mode to make sure that the laptop will work once Linux successfully boots. But nothing gets me any closer to booting. I've tried everything imaginable: I've disabled fastboot (bios and windows), tried booting with secure boot disabled (and enabled using a trusted boot efi file), I've shutdown windows from command line to get around 'unclean file system' error, I've downgraded bios and upgraded bios. When USB HDD is selected, press F6 to move it at the top of the list. Find a USB HDD (this is your USB recovery disk) item from the list and highlight it by using your arrow keys: and. Navigate to the Boot tab of BIOS using your arrow keys: and. I've searched and searched for a work around. If you have a desktop from Acer, press Del instead. 'Problem loading UEFI:db X.509 certificate'.

However I've tried numerous distributions.
