You can use the Trackpad on the Acer Aspire E15 if you enter the BIOS by
holding F2 at startup and changing the Trackpad setting from Advanced to
Basic under the Main tab. This solved my issue with the Trackpad. Now
I'm exploring why the BIOS is preventing Ubuntu from booting from an
external drive - I believe the secure boot option is responsible for
that.
