As I recall, in the many ubuntu installations I did, it was one where I put accountsservice on hold and then upgraded the system. Then, I run an apt-get upgrade instead of apt, or something similar, so the hold was not taken account of. I was afraid the PC would crash, but it did not, it however did freeze the computer a little bit, which still does not seem normal. The nvidia drivers had been installed previously. The two bugs you mentioned are clearly related or probably duplicate and, I may assume, they have yet to be properly fixed. Please let me know if I can help you further. Perhaps I could try to replicate the weird freezes (without crashed) that happen when accountsservice is being upgraded as:
-I first install LightDM, activate it and then sudo apt upgrade, or -hold accountsservice, sudo apt upgrade all system, then unhold and sudo apt upgrade again Maybe a solution could lie at the journalctl of these two situations? If you think it is worth it, please tell me about nvidia drivers, should they be installed or not, or should I just use my laptop which has no nvidia on it? Indeed, this seems like a bug that can be avoided with a little experience, but a new or inexperienced ubuntu user could find it all too annoying and disrupting. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1885452 Title: pc freezes and crashes during accountsservice upgrade on fresh ubuntu focal fossa install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1885452/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
