During what ought to be a straight-forward installation the installer choked on 
installing GRUB, throwing an error and directing me to file this bug report. 
The system I'm installing on already has partitions set up: an EXT4 partition 
(where I'm installing to), a SWAP partition, and a NTFS partition with Windows 
10.
