Public bug reported:
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.
