[Bug 1885452] Re: pc freezes and crashes during accountsservice upgrade on fresh ubuntu focal fossa install

 

When did you get the log and at what time did you see the 'something
went wrong' screen? There is no obvious error in the log. When you see
the error screen could you take a screenshot, then switch to a VT (e.g
ctrl-alt-F3) and get the journalctl log from there?

Title:
  pc freezes and crashes during accountsservice 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, then crashes. 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.
