I have Ubuntu successfully installed but can't get the efi to recognize the ubuntu boot loader. Here is my boot-repair results url: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10042169/ Any help would be appriciated as I have never had this much trouble before with getting a dual boot.

What model Acer?
Even if not same model, most brands have very similar settings for UEFI. Just certain options for various hardware between models may be different.
