I just reinstalled focal ubuntu with "log in automatically" checked and I recorded the journalctl and timed the error at approximately 14:31:54. I am attaching the log. The errors you saw previously such as
(EE) NOUVEAU(0): [drm] failed to set drm interface version appear at 14:31:56 so after the screen has already crashed. some errors I see now are as follows: iul 01 14:31:54 daniel-System-Product-Name systemd[1]: /lib/systemd/system/dbus.socket:5: ListenStream= references a path below legacy directory /var/run/, updating /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket → /run/dbus/system_bus_socket; please update the unit file accordingly. ------------------------- iul 01 14:31:54 daniel-System-Product-Name accounts-daemon[28222]: started daemon version 0.6.55 iul 01 14:31:54 daniel-System-Product-Name systemd[1]: Started Accounts Service. iul 01 14:31:54 daniel-System-Product-Name gnome-shell[1186]: GNOME Shell crashed with signal 11 ------------------------- iul 01 14:31:54 daniel-System-Product-Name systemd[825]: gsd-keyboard.service: Main process exited, code=killed, status=11/SEGV iul 01 14:31:54 daniel-System-Product-Name systemd[825]: gsd-keyboard.service: Failed with result 'signal'. iul 01 14:31:54 daniel-System-Product-Name systemd[825]: Stopped target GNOME Keyboard handling. iul 01 14:31:54 daniel-System-Product-Name systemd[1]: gdm.service: Main process exited, code=killed, status=11/SEGV iul 01 14:31:54 daniel-System-Product-Name systemd-logind[685]: Session 1 logged out.

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 : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
