Sorry for numerous messages, but I just did other things. First, I found that checking at install "request password at logins", I was able to also install Nvidia Drivers without any issue at all! This change basically solved all the problems. When installing Ubuntu focal and checking "log in automatically" a login loop was present after nvidia drivers got installed. LightDM fixed this as it disables automatic login. Second, I run another journalctl report, this time instantaneously at crash. Ctrl-alt-F worked by pressing it instantaneously.
Hopefully this may help. I noticed users on askubuntu complaining about login loops after nvidia drivers install, but have not seen as a solution just to enable password request at login screen. LightDM partly solves the situations, but as I mentioned, when LightDM and automatic log in are activated and accountsservice is being upgraded, the screen still flickers weirdly.

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.
