Bug Description
dell [optiplex] 780 (c2q-q9400, 8gb, amd/ati cedar radeon hd 5000/6000/
replace a 19.04 install I don't need anymore for support.
I didn't format, and it's now trying to 'Restoring previously installed packages" which I expected it to produce some issues (packages that don't exist in bionic which are not an issue for this test), but it's remained there for an hour+ without moving.
I noticed it had Lubuntu "please visit our website" so clicked on it, and firefox crashed (small firefox window asking me to report to Mozilla). I clicked the submit bug & crash again, submit & crash again (mozilla reporting not ubuntu-bug/apport I suspect given appearance of window).
I tried to open a terminal, but I'm only getting circling cursor then nothing on any menu item it appears, ctrl+alt+T isn't opening a terminal, and I cannot login to a text terminal (no login prompt appears, just cursor on black screen), so it appears to have crashed, or is in an endless loop. Because of this, I'm filing issue on different box.
It has remained where it is for ~60+ mins, and I need to go to bed...

I'll endeavour to re-do this install tomorrow; over whatever was installed on this partition... (on sda1)
It's been left another 30-40 minutes when I came to this box & looked on launchpad for other issues like it, then created this issue, and yet nothing on screen has changed
still "Restoring previously installed packages"
- Ctrl+Alt+T does nothing
- opening terminal at menu causes spinning pointer then nothing
- opening firefox at menu only opens Mozilla Crash Reporter
- opening leafpad opens leafpad, I can enter text so some options work as expected
- I cannot login to text terminal (cursor & no login prompt) to run `apport-collect` from there either
Check disc for defects was run (& passed) before install attempted
