Teo, as per http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers an update to your BIOS is available (2.21). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate does it change anything?  If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report. As well, you don't have to create a new
bug report.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  system frozen after resume from hibernation. Had to power off

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I hibernated with sudo pm-hibernate.

  When I turned on the computer, it booted quickly and soon the screen
  showed up as it looked like before the hibernation.

  Only it was frozen and wouldn't respond to anything.
  The clock was showing the time at which the computer had been hibernated (5 hours before). The battery icon showed the status as it was prior to hibernation (battery not connected to power) even if I connected it to power.

  The mouse cursor was not visible, the system didn't respond to mouse or keyboard (not even ctrl+alt+f1)
  Plugging in a usb hub with a keyboard did nothing (the keyboard's numlock led wouldn't turn on if I pressed numlock, that is, most probably the plugging in of the usb hub was completely ignored.

  The whole system was just completely frozen and the only thing I could
  do was to force a power off.

  Now please don't tell me to install a bios update until there's a
  decent way to install it seamlessly from Ubuntu itself, without
  relying on freedos, flashrom, creating a windows repair disk and
  whatnot.
