I can get through the entire install with no issues. This is not a dual boot, I want to run this Ubuntu install as the primary OS. When attempting to reboot after successful install, I get to a screen that tells me to "remove bootable medium and press ENTER". At this point, the computer restarts and then cannot boot. The only option that is available is "1. Yes".

I have visited ACER forums and have not seen a solution for this. Same problems manifests with older LTS versions of Ubuntu, and with Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.
