[Bug 1648687] [NEW] Error Installing lubuntu from scratch alongside Win 8.1

[Alan]

Public bug reported:

Attemt to upgrade from Ubuntu 15.10 to 16.10

BAsic problem is:
Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu Mate installed on drive.
Downloaded Ubuntu 16.10 ISO from the Lubuntu web site and burned DVD. 
Ran Lubuntu from Dvd, successful startup
Ran "Install Lubuntu" from desktop icon.

Before making this change I had Ubuntu Mate 15.10 installed next to
Windows 8.1. Boot from EFI file was required to enter Ubuntu.EVerything
else running normally.

Attempting to install Lubuntu 16.10 I got this same error twice. 
First time I created Ubuntu 16.10 DVD and installed over the 15.10 install directly from DVD and got this error near the finish. Ubuntu appeared to work but was unavailable on reboot. Tried an EFI file boot but it only booted to Grub.

Second time deleted all partitions on drive, installed Win 8.1 on 200GB
and then Lubuntu 16.10 to 100GB Partition and got the same error near
the finish. Nothing else on drive.
