It seems that Acer provides the BIOS update only for Windows and DOS

I do not know if such update can be done under Ubuntu using wine.

Maybe you better try creating a bootable USB stick with freedos or similar, copy the BIOS update program and data from Acer to that stick, boot from it and do the update.

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask Mehlich for more information if necessary.
