Describe the bug
The "Antergos Installer - Confirmation" popup freezes when either option is clicked. Bootloader fails to install so restarting the system boots directly to Windows.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Follow instructions at https://antergos.com/wiki/install/how-to-dual-boot-antergos-windows-uefi-expanded-by-linuxhat/ including disabling Secure Boot
Installer freezes
Restart system and boot directly into Windows...

Expected behavior
Expect grub installation to complete and a system reboot to boot into grub with a choice between Windows 10 and Antergos

Screenshots

Log Files
/var/log/cnchi/cnchi.log

Additional context
Installing Antergos on partitioned drive to dual boot with Windows 10. I've been closely following the New Installer is broke conversation on the forum.

About to try downgrading cnchi as TuanLa suggests and will report back here.

@killajoe I highly doubt it's my internet connection. I've had this issue several times and joe and manuel are having the exact same issues during the install. Take a look at the logs posted on the forum: https://forum.antergos.com/topic/10714/new-installer-is-broken/31?page=2

@ppartarr is right. It's not a connection problem. You can safely ignore those warnings. They happen when a mirror has not updated that package, then Cnchi tries another mirror. If it does not stop it means it has successfully downloaded it from the other mirror.

I'm now trying to pinpoint what's wrong with the installer, thanks for reporting this.

Finally. Version 0.16.21 works.

@karasu Still running into grub install issues using ISO 18.10 and cnchi 0.16.21: /var/log/cnchi/cnchi.log. Could this be a configuration issue on my side?

mmm... that's odd.
2018-10-07 00:18:02 [INFO ] GRUB(2) BIOS has been successfully installed. (grub2.py:325)
but then...
2018-10-07 00:18:11 [WARNING] Error running ['/bin/pidof', 'grub-mount']: b'' (grub2.py:265)
I think this is another problem... anyway, I'll check it asap

Hopefully fixed in 0.16.23

The [ INFO ] GRUB(2) BIOS has been successfully installed. (grub2.py:325) message appeared in cnchi versions previous to 0.16.21 if you have a look at the my first log and the ones in the forum

And that means it was installed. Bug was that the gui didn’t notice when the installation was finished. If you waited long enough grub was installed. What maybe is happening here is that you experienced another bug...
