Hello and thank you! I just reinstalled focal and the same happened. After the bug, the system crashes with "Oh no! Something has gone wrong" and a log out button. After restarting, sudo apt update wrongly reports "All packages are up to date". I am attaching journalctl report. During Ubuntu Installation, the only parameters I changed were:
-disabled download packages during installation
-enabled automatic login
the rest were mostly left as default

** Attachment added: "journalctl.txt"

Title:
  pc freezes and crashes during accountservice upgrade on fresh ubuntu
  focal fossa install

Status in accountsservice package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After a fresh install of Focal Fossa and running sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade, when the upgrade reaches "setting up accountsservice" the PC freezes. After a reboot, the login screen did not appear anymore. This was reproducible on another computer (laptop). I reinstalled Ubuntu and put the package on hold. Later, I found that by installing and activating lightdm, this problem was remediated. Found this solution accidentally, while I was looking to correct login screen loops after I installed the nvidia drivers. This is unrelated, since the laptop does not have nvidia.
