["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Felipe Castillo, as per http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers an update to your BIOS is available (1.15). 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.

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

Once the BIOS is updated, then please mark this report Status Confirmed.

Thank you for your understanding.

** Description changed:

- This is a bug related to [bug 1058346].
- I'm using Ubuntu Trusty and the problem with the touchpad still exists with the latest updates from the repository.
- The workaround of turning on the touchpad before login works for me, but it is very annoying, specially because multiple user work on the laptop and not all of them know of the workaround.
- I've notice that there's no more development in the original bug, so I decided to report it again here, as requested by other people in the thread.
+ I'm using Ubuntu Trusty and the problem with the touchpad still exists
+ with the latest updates from the repository.
+ 
+ WORKAROUND: Pushing Fn+F7 (which is the turn on combination for the
+ touchpad) before loging in makes the tp work perfectly.
