   Laptops are notorius for being difficult to get Linux in general to load on, you should be installing Ubuntu Studio 8.04:

   If Acer is anything like it was 10 years ago then it’s probably a proprietary thing. Acer’s philosophy is that you should be satisfied with their computers right out of the box. When you start fiddling around with them – like upgrading – they start to cause problems. I wonder if the clock batteries are still soldered to the motherboard. Hmmmm…..

   I used to own one.
