It looks like you left Windows fast startup on. You need to have that off.

Fast Startup off/hibernation

Acer do not need the suggested fix by editing BCD in Windows.

But they need you to set a supervisory password and set "trust" on the Ubuntu boot files.

Re: dual boot xubuntu windows 7 problem

Many many thanks Oldfred and for the very quick reply

I am a 9 years passionate ubuntu user and I never found such a complicate issue

it took me 8 hours to solve (for sure my skills do not help...)

I am surprised that Acer created such a ridiculously complicates setting, microsoft is not enough, we need
also the manufacturers messing around...

I solved through these links

http://askubuntu.com/questions/59721...ntu-14-04-uefi

not sure turn off windows fast start-up necessary

for sure not necessary disable Secure Boot in bios in my case <a lot of advice stress the importance of this

I try to recap my solving (for computer laptop acer E5-571-57H1)

(after installed xubuntu)

turn on and press F2, bios come up (mine called InsydeH20 setup utility rev. 5.0)

go to page Security

go to "Set Supervisor Password" press ENTER (I set pass "a")

go to "Select an UEFI file as trusted for executing:" press ENTER

[SOLVED] dual boot xubuntu windows 7 problem

a new page appear with listed:

HDD0

HDD0

press ENTER on the first HDD0 and see if a sub list with the name "<EFI>" comes up (in my case did not
show <EFI> but: recycle bin and system volume info)

press ENTER on the second HDD0 and see if a sub list with <EFI> comes up (in my case showed <EFI> and
<boot-sav>)

press ENTER on <EFI>, new list comes

press ENTER on<ubuntu>, new list comes with:

shimx64.efi

grubx64.efi

MokManager.efi

press enter on each one and give them a for you recognizable name (I used "xubuntushimx64efi",
"xubuntugrubx64efi", "xubuntuMokManagerefi")

and press Yes

save and exit

go back in bios f2

go to "Set Supervisor Password" and set pass to nill-blank (you want to eliminate a not necessary password
that you could forget...)

go to "boot page" tab

you should find the named shimx64.efi, grubx64.efi, MokManager.efi

bring them up in the priority boot list (above windows if you want ubuntu default system)

go to page main - enable F12 boot menu

save and exit

now ubuntu should be your main boot and if you need windows press F12 at start and select...

madness!!!!!
