Ricardo Manuel Ribeiro Duarte, as per http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers an update to your BIOS is available (1.30). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything? If it doesn't, 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
For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, then please mark this report Status New. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-1.30 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1401508 Title: Empty desktop Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: In 14.10 After booting, and logging in I can see my desktop background, but no icons or menu bar.
