I'm not entirely sure what the report said. I don't understand coding well enough it seems there are multiple points where it errors out.

Thank you for the bug report, the error is

grub-install: error: cannot copy `/usr/lib/shim/mmx64.efi' to `/boot/efi/EFI/Boot/mmx64.efi': No space left on device.

which suggests the partition used for the EFI loader hasn't enough free space, did you manually partition or was that autocreated?

summary: - Install crashed and failed
