[Bug 1671638] [NEW] Lubuntu install crashes

[BigBadWoofer]

Public bug reported:

Installing Lubuntu on Probook 4525s running Windows 10 and UEFI.

Had problems doing the install since Windows 10 was not detected.
Googled many alternative installs but none seemed to work. Finally found
a fix saying to disable Windows 10 fast start. Started install again
from USB holding ISO from Lubuntu.org. This time install says it
detected the Windows Boot Loader (unsure of exact name) and an existing
Ubuntu 16.10. To remove anything I might have already done to the Ubuntu
files I chose the option to erase 16.10 and reinstall. It cautioned me
that this would overwrite partition 5 (linux) and partition 6 (swap).
This was correct so I gave the go ahead to install. Much copying and
installing followed. I think the last install update said something
about GRUB. Then the installer crashed and started this report.
