I bought a new Acer Aspire E 15 laptop and I want to dual boot Xubuntu 16.04.1 LTS alongside the Windows 10 installation that it came with. I've been able to succesfully run the Linux installation vis a USB drive at least a dozen times, but once I restart the computer I cannot boot into it. I've installed Ubuntu on many computers before but they always used BIOS and this new UEFI madness that Windows 10 introduced seems to be the cause of the issue.
I've done a lot of research already and tried a lot of things so I'll cover what I have tried first:
Disabled Fast Startup
Turned off Secure Boot
Used efibootmgr to change the boot order so Ubuntu boots before Windows Boot Manager
Installed and ran boot-repair. It said an error occurred during repair and gave me this pastebin link: http://paste2.org/eONDG45A
Changed my boot mode to Legacy from UEFI. This made it so nothing booted and I had to go into the bios and change the setting back to even get Windows to boot again. From what I've read it looks like the only way to make my computer work in legacy mode is to reinstall Windows, which I'd like to avoid at all costs.
If anyone can provide any help it would be super appreciated. I've already spent a half dozen hours just trying to get Ubuntu installed and I'm really frustrated at this point.
