I've been trying to install Ubuntu on my new Acer Spin 1 for a few days now and whenever it reaches a point it gets stuck and loops the same code over and over indefinitely. This lasts for hours:
/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/gtk_components/nmwidgets.py:xxx: Warning: Source ID xxxxx was not found when attempting to remove it.
GLib. source_remove(self.timeout_id)
/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/gtk_components/nmwidgets.py:xxx: Warning: Source ID xxxxx was not found when attempting to remove it
GLib.source_remove(self.rows_changed_id)
(The x's are a string of numbers that increase through each loop).
The stages it stalls on varies from 'installing grub package' to the more common 'Configuring linux-signed-image-generic (amd64)'.
I did end up getting it installed by setting up the partitions myself but that only led me to another issue where I'd receive the error 'No Boot Drive' on restart: No Bootable Device after Installing Ubuntu 16.04 – No Drives in UEFI BIOS settings … I ended up attempting a reinstall to find a solution and now I'm back to where I started. They method I tried that was successful before no longer seems to work.
Please help.

So it seems that the way to install it 'properly' is to create the bootable USB as a GPT partition scheme (I originally had it set to MBR for UEFI and BIOS); install without internet, updates, or Third-Party Software, and manually create the partitions according to this guide: http://linuxbsdos.com/2015/10/30/gpt-and-mbr-manual-disk-partitioning-guide-for-ubuntu-15-10/... Now that it's finally installed, I just need to deal with this issue: No Bootable Device after Installing Ubuntu 16.04 - No Drives in UEFI BIOS settings
