As I mentioned, I think the problem is not related to nvidia drivers. If I install nvidia drivers I have to do it by first disabling automatic log in at startup, otherwise I get a login loop after first reboot. If I disable automatic log in, then I do not get any crash when upgrading accountsservice. To sum up, accountsservice upgrade crashes only on 'GDM + login automatically'. On 'LightDM + login automatically', it stalls a bit but does not crash, while on 'GDM + disabled automatic login' it works perfectly. I installed ubuntu on an older laptop with no nvidia cards and the same problem appeared, otherwise I would not have reported this issue as it would have probably been related to a particular configuration, of my PC. Please let me know if you think I can try something else. Thanks!

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. --- ProblemType: Bug ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27.3 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 InstallationDate: Installed on 2020-06-29 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS "Focal Fossa" - Release amd64 (20200423) Package: accountsservice 0.6.55-0ubuntu12~20.04.1 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.4.0-39.43-generic 5.4.41 Tags: focal Uname: Linux 5.4.0-39-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin lxd plugdev sambashare sudo _MarkForUpload: True To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1885452/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
